Build process for OpenTripPlanner-data-server and router specific OpenTripPlanner images

This project:

Contains tools for fetching, building and deploying fresh opentripplanner data server and opentripplanner images for consumption by Digitransit maintained OTP version 2.x instances.

Main components

otp-data-builder

The actual data builder application. This is a node.js application that fetches and processes new gtfs/osm data. It's build around gulp and all separate steps of databuilding process can also be called directly from the source tree. The only required external dependency is docker. Docker is used for launching external commands that do for example data manipulation.

install gulp cli: yarn global add gulp-cli

install app deps: yarn

update osm data: ROUTER_NAME=hsl gulp osm:update

download new gtfs data for waltti: ROUTER_NAME=waltti gulp gtfs:dl

Configuration

It is possible to change the behaviour of the data builder by defining environment variables.

• ROUTER_NAME defines for which router the data gets updated for.
• DOCKER_USER defines username for authenticating to docker hub.
• DOCKER_AUTH defines password for authenticating to docker hub.
• (Optional, default v3 and tag based on date) DOCKER_TAG defines what will be the updated docker tag of the data server images in the remote container registry.
• (Optional, default hsldevcom) ORG defines what organization images belong to in the remote container registry.
• (Optional, default v3) SEED_TAG defines what version of the data storage should be used for seeding.
• (Optional, default v2) OTP_TAG defines what version of OTP is used for testing, building graphs and deploying a new OTP image (postfixed with router name).
• (Optional, default v3) TOOLS_TAG defines what version of otp-data-tools image is used for testing.
• (Optional, default dev) BUILDER_TYPE used as a postfix to slack bot name
• (Optional) SLACK_CHANNEL_ID defines to which slack channel the messages are sent to
• (Optional) SLACK_ACCESS_TOKEN bearer token for slack messaging
• (Optional, default {}) EXTRA_SRC defines gtfs src values that should be overridden or completely new src that should be added with unique id. Example format:
  • {"FOLI": {"url": "https://data.foli.fi/gtfs/gtfs.zip", "fit": false, "rules": ["router-waltti/gtfs-rules/waltti.rule"]}}
  • You can remove a src by including "remove": true, {"FOLI": {"remove": true}}
• (Optional, default {}) EXTRA_UPDATERS defines router-config.json updater values that should be overridden or completely new updater that should be added with unique id. Example format:
  • {"turku-alerts": {"type": "real-time-alerts", "frequencySec": 30, "url": "https://foli-beta.nanona.fi/gtfs-rt/reittiopas", "feedId": "FOLI", "fuzzyTripMatching": true}}
  • You can remove a src by including "remove": true, {"turku-alerts": {"remove": true}}
• (Optional, default {}) EXTRA_OSM can redefine OSM source URLs. For example: {"hsl": "https://tempserver.com/newhsl.pbf"}
• (Optional) VERSION_CHECK is a comma-separated list of feedIds from which the GTFS data's feed_info.txt's file's feed_version field is parsed into a date object and it's checked if the data has been updated within the last 8 hours. If not, a message is sent to stdout (and slack, only monday-friday) to inform about usage of "old" data.
• (Optional) SKIPPED_SITES defines a comma-separated list of sites from OTPQA tests that should be skipped. Example format:
  • "turku.digitransit.fi,reittiopas.hsl.fi"
• (Optional) DISABLE_BLOB_VALIDATION should be included if blob (OSM) validation should be disabled temporarily.
• (Optional) NOSEED should be included (together with DISABLE_BLOB_VALIDATION) when data loading for a new configuration is run first time and no seed image is available.
• (Optional) NOCLEANUP can be used to disable removal of historical data in storage
• (Optional) JAVA_OPTS Java parameters for running OTP
• (Optional) SPLIT_BUILD_TYPE is an enum used to configure if the build should be split. The values are:
  • ONLY_BUILD_STREET_GRAPH to only build the street graph
  • USE_PREBUILT_STREET_GRAPH to use the prebuilt street graph to finish a complete graph build
  • All other values default to NO_SPLIT_BUILD which indicates that the build is run as normal

Data processing steps

• seed downloads previous data from storage (env variable SEED_TAG can be used to customize which storage location is used) and then extracts osm, dem, and gtfs data and places it in the data/seed and data/ready directories. The old data acts as backup in case fetching/validating new data fails. The command uses the zipped contents of the latest build that built a complete graph (from prebuilt data or from a normal build).

• dem:update downloads required DEM information, after which data is copied to the data/downloads/dem directory.

• osm:update downloads required OSM packages from configured locations, tests the files with OTP, and if the tests pass, data is copied to the data/downloads/osm directory.

• gtfs:update

  • gtfs:dl downloads a GTFS package from a configured location and tests the file with OTP, if the test passes data is copied to the data/fit/gtfs directory. The resulting zip file is named <feedid>.zip.

  • gtfs:fit runs configured map fits. Copies data to the data/filter/gtfs directory.

  • gtfs:filter runs configured filters. Copies data to the data/id/gtfs directory.

  • gtfs:id sets the gtfs feed id to <id> and copies data to the data/ready/gtfs directory.

• router:buildGraph

  • router:copy copies files needed for the build.
  • buildOTPGraphTask(config.router) builds a new graph with all the new data sets (and maybe seeded data sets if there were issues with new data).

• router:buildStreetOnlyGraph

  • router:copyStreetOnlyGraphData copies files needed for the street only build.
  • buildOTPStreetOnlyGraphTask(config.router) builds a new street only graph with all the new data sets (and maybe seeded data sets if there were issues with new data).

• router:buildWithPrebuiltStreetGraph

  • router:copyForPrebuiltStreetGraphDataBuild copies files needed for the build from prebuilt data.
  • buildOTPGraphTask(config.router) builds a new graph from prebuilt street only data with new gtfs data sets (and maybe seeded data sets if there were issues with new data).

• test.sh runs the routing quality test bench defined in the hsldevcom/OTPQA repository. OTPQA test sets are associated with GTFS packages. If there are quality regressions, a comma separated list of failed GTFS feed identifiers is written to the local file failed_feeds.txt.

• router:store stores the new data in storage (which can be a mounted storage volume).

• router:storeForPrebuiltStreetGraphDataBuild stores the new data in storage (which can be a mounted storage volume). Also copies the report directory from the street only build to the output directory under the name street-report.

• deploy.sh deploys a new opentripplanner-data-server image with the DOCKER_TAG env variable (default v3) postfixed with the router name, and pushes the image to Dockerhub.

  Normally, when the application is running as a container, the script index.js is run to execute all steps. The end result of the build is a data server image uploaded to dockerhub.

  Each data server image runs an http server listening to port 8080. It serves a data bundle required for building a graph and a prebuilt graph. For example, in the HSL case: http://localhost:8080/router-hsl.zip and graph-hsl-$OTPVERSION.zip. The image does not include the data, the data needs to be mounted while running the container.

• deploy-otp.sh tags an OTP image using the OTP_TAG env variable (default v2) postfixed with the router name and pushes the image to Dockerhub. This new OTP image will automatically use the graph and configuration from the storage location where the build's end result was stored at.

• storage:cleanup keeps the 10 latest versions of the data in storage and removes the rest.

• storage:cleanupStreetOnlyGraphData keeps the 10 latest versions of the street only build data in storage and removes the rest.

otp-data-tools
