nectar cloud pumilio build got bogged down

I’ve been trying to build pumilio bioacoustics server on a Aust Nectar Research Cloud VM, but hit various roadblocks.

  • built with NeCTAR Ubuntu 12.04.2 (Precise)
  • these issues (especially the apt-get install r-cran-mysql etc ) might not occure with later Ubuntu?
  • test NeCTAR Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal) or
  • NeCTAR Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring) ??
  • TODO FIX issues with python audio lab
  • TODO swapfile
  • TODO Mount the larger storage
  • TODO add swapfile
  • TODO fix R install etc

The Github code (in the gh-pages branch) and published as a report at this link. The Source Code is available to Clone or Fork at This Github Repo and is at a stage that most of the installation and configuration is documented to a point where a test sound file has successfully been uploaded.

HELP WANTED

  • Any researcher at an Australia university could follow the instructions on their own Nectar Cloud VM.
  • If anybody out there is interested in bioacoustics, R, Linux or web data archives please help

Background to pumilio, bushfm and this project

  • The http://pumilio.sourceforge.net/ is by Luis J. Villanueva-Rivera and Bryan C. Pijanowski. (2012. Pumilio: A Web-Based Management System for Ecological Recordings. Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America 93: 71-81. doi: 10.1890/0012-9623-93.1.71)
  • The http://www.bush.fm/ aims to provide the research community with a portal to national scale acoustic sensor data repositories, and a suite of tools to perform analysis and reporting on these data.
