⚓ Cirdan

Named after Círdan the Shipwright from Tolkien’s legendarium — an ancient and wise figure responsible for building the vessels that sail beyond the world — this project acts as the orchestrator that launches and connects all parts of the MELVIN software system.

In this repository you will find instructions on how to build our on-board software melvin-ob alongside our own SiL-Framework Palantíri in an isolated Docker Compose Scenario for quick, platform-independent deployment, testing and debugging.

🔨 Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Cirdan repository and orchestrate

   git clone https://github.com/CIARC-CUIYC/cirdan.git
   cd cirdan

2. Execute Docker Application

   docker compose pull
   docker compose up

3. Connect to melvin-ob and start the SuT

   docker exec -it melvin_container bash
   tmux attach

Important

The Palantiri Flask Webserver needs a few seconds too boot up. You can monitor this in the same terminal where you executed the previous commands. If you start melvin-ob too early this will result in HTTPResponseErrors
