Video tutorials?

FireWorks
1

Hello,
are there any video tutorials / walk-throughs for Fireworks? (I can not find any /software/ related videos anywhere)
There are a lot of steps required for the installation and setup, so this would be a huge help for me.
The documentation on https://materialsproject.github.io/fireworks is quite good, but lacks details in some parts.

I´d like to use Fireworks (on Windows) with Alicevision Meshroom which is using this python submitter (https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/pull/81/commits/0053c7d524021d966de632fa88f29a5c2bc2e45d).

I´d really appreciate it, if you could point me to fireworks videos or good (windows) set-up tutorials.
Thanks, Sim

Hi Sim,

Unfortunately there are no video tutorials at all, and also no tutorials geared towards Windows users. However, if you encounter any specific problems with the installation or usage, we’d be happy to try to help.

Hello,

I have installed FW (connection to the remote test-server works) and set up a cloud mongodb atlas instance.
Now I wan to point FW to my mongodb. So I created a FW_config.yaml and set my os.env.var for FW_CONFIG_FILE to point to this file.

When I call lpad version I get the ValueError: Invalid FW_config file has unknown parameter: host.
I am not sure which format to use (the doc seems to skip this step): (for mongo shell)
host: mongodb+srv://cluster0-b05rv.mongodb.net/test
or this (from CLI tools info)
host: cluster0-shard-00-00-xxxxx.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-01-xxxxx.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-02-xxxxx.mongodb.net:27017

Thanks

Hi Sim

It looks like you are connecting to a MongoDB Atlas instance. I’ve found that MongoDB Atlas tries to enforce every best practice on you from the beginning (e.g. defaulting to replica sets, starting out with no IP addresses whitelisted, etc.), which in turn makes everything very complicated to get up and running. This is in contrast to mlab which is pretty simple to get started with (I find I can get started with mlab in a fraction of the time as with MongoDB Atlas). The only problem with mlab is that it is being merged into Atlas in the near future, making Atlas the stronger long-term solution.

Anyway, I am working on a set of changes to FireWorks right now that will allow you to connect with a connection URI (e.g., in your example this would be mongodb+srv://cluster0-b05rv.mongodb.net/test). They should hopefully be fully ready in a week or less (I already have some draft commits, just trying to test them properly with a MongoDB Atlas configuration). I will update you when ready.

Best,

Anubhav

Hello Anubhav,

thank you for the answer. New registrations for mlab are already being forwarded to MongoDB Atlas.
I am looking forward to the next release.

Best,

Hi Sim,

Can you update to FWS v1.8.9 and try following the instructions below:

https://materialsproject.github.io/fireworks/quickstart.html

See the note beginning with: “If your MongoDB database is located on a different computer from your FireWorks installation”

Let us know if it doesn’t work
