taaraxtak is a platform for collecting, storing, and visualizing data about political dimensions of the Internet. See some context on its motivation.
See a live version at XXX
See INSTALL.md
For local development, start the collection server with
python3 collect.py
You can also run the data collection as separate one-time jobs:
python3 run.py w3techspython3 run.py ooni
This makes it suitable to be run from a system cron, rather than as a standalone continuous process.
Then check out your Grafana instance (by default, https://localhost:3000).
To deploy a production environment, see DEPLOY.md
Tests will require pytest:
pip install pytest
Run tests with
pytest test/*
Optionally, you can run tests with code coverage:
pip install pytest
pip install pytest-cov
pytest test/* --cov=src
See CONTRIBUTING.MD.
taaraxtak (IPA: taːɾaxtak) means "the sky" in the Chochenyo Ohlone language.
Looking up at the sky, I can only see what's above me. Similarly, the Internet is something I can only know partially. The name is meant to remind us to look at what we can see, knowing it's only part of the whole. (When we measure the Internet we are, in more senses than one, looking at the shape of clouds). Remember, everything we learned about the atmosphere started by looking up at the sky. All we ever need is a partial perspective and an open system of thought.
