SMRF and DockerΒΆ

SMRF is also built into a docker image to make it easy to install on any operating system. The docker images are built automatically from the Github repository and include the latest code base or stable release images.

The SMRF docker image has a folder meant to mount data inside the docker image at /data.

docker run -v <path to data>:/data usdaarsnwrc/smrf run_smrf <path to config>

The <path to data> should be the path to where the configuration file, data and topo are on the host machine. This will also be the location to where the SMRF output will go.

Note

The paths in the configuration file must be adjusted for being inside the docker image. For example, in the command above the path to the config will be inside the docker image. This would be /data/config.ini and not the path on the host machine.

In a way that ARS uses this, we keep the config, topo and data on one location as the files are fairly small. The output then is put in another location as it file size can be much larger. To facilitate this, mount the input and output data separately and modify the configuration paths.

docker run -v <input>:/data/input -v <output>:/data/output usdaarsnwrc/smrf run_smrf <path to config>
