Trigger scan job during initial start

[pworschischek-aggmag]

First of all, thank you @lkstrp and everyone involved in pypsa-app - this is great work, please keep it up!

Secondly, I couldn’t help myself and tried the Docker commands to get a feeling for the project. I noticed two issues that I needed to fix:

1. The Docker command in the readme is missing the run argument.
2. The pypsa-app image is tagged as main, not as latest. Needed to change that in the compose files too.

Don't know if you take pull requests yet, I have the fixes locally and can open the PR if you like.

After that, docker-compose -f compose.full.yaml up worked for me using .env.example settings. However, my networks are not being loaded:

$ docker exec pypsa-app ls -la data/networks
total 2900164
drwxr-xr-x 2 1007 1007       4096 Nov 25 10:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 1007 1007       4096 Nov 25 10:03 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 1007 1007 2969753467 Nov 17 07:29 base_s_adm__none_2050.nc

So it looks like the files are there inside the container, but they’re not being picked up.
What am I missing? Just curious - it’s not urgent, and I completely understand that it’s still early days for the project. I just really couldn’t wait to try it out!

Hey @pworschischek-aggmag,

thanks for trying already! We always take pull requests! Feel free to go ahead and add run to the command. latest can stay. I just haven't pushed a tag yet, which will create the latest tag.

I also haven't added a scan trigger during initial app startup yet, which is unfortunate for initial tries. You need to do that manually via the api: You can just go to localhost:8000/api/docs and trigger the scan_networks endpoint.

Hi @lkstrp, thanks for the heads-up on the api/docs, triggering the scan network endpoint with
curl -X 'PUT' htttp://localhost:8000/api/v1/networks/' -H 'accept: application/json'
loaded the networks! Thanks again :)
