How to create a STRDS in actinia?

[veroandreo]

Is there an example or template on how to create a STRDS in an existent mapset within actinia? For example within the latlong location and worldpop mapset there are several raster maps with which I'd like to create a STRDS. How is it done? Could you point me to an example?

I found the relevant endopoints here but I find it difficult to decipher how to use them from the terminal with curl or yet much better and preferably with ace from grass

Out of the box it is only possible to create a STRDS within a user mapset with data in the same mapset. This is currently WIP in #192. The current functionality is explained a bit in https://redocly.github.io/redoc/?url=https://actinia.mundialis.de/latest/swagger.json#tag/STRDS-Management/paths/~1locations~1{location_name}~1mapsets~1{mapset_name}~1strds~1{strds_name}~1raster_layers/put (REQUEST BODY SCHEMA) but I agree that the documentation about it can be improved.

I see. And it will depend on the latest PRs by @metzm in grass too.

Yes (#192)

Would it be possible to create an endpoint that allows users to work directly in an existing mapset, at own risk (maybe even including the central DB for super-admins)?
In a multiuser setting and if actinia is supposed to give access not only to algorithms but also data, management of "central data" is actually quite important...

Hi @ninsbl , this cannot be done by design. On purpose there are two DBs - the shared one, where all data can be stored and then used by users if access is granted and the user DB where the user can create and manipulate own datasets. "at own risk" can be quite dangerous if large datasets are published via actinia and then accidently deleted or manipulated and users should not be able to edit this central data but store their results in the user DBs.
