http://step.esa.int/main/

ESA is developing free open source toolboxes for the scientific exploitation of Earth Observation missions under the the Scientific Exploitation of Operational Missions (SEOM) programme element. STEP is the ESA community platform for accessing the software and its documentation, communicating with the developers, dialoguing within the science community, promoting results and achievements as well as providing tutorials and material for training scientists using the Toolboxes.

Contains: SNAP, S1TBX, S2TBX, S3TBX, SMOS Box, PROBA-V Toolbox.

Get it from https://hub.docker.com/r/mrmoor/esa-snap/

Or get it via docker from the cmd:

docker pull mrmoor/esa-snap:latest

There are version 6.0 and 7.0 available. 7.0 is the latest and is via tag latest or 7.0 reachable.

Use this image for comandline or automated SNAP usage. Build your graph with the desktop version of SNAP and process your graph with the Graph Processing Tool:

gpt test.xml

Or just use gpt on the commandline:

gpt <op>|<graph-file> [options] [<source-file-1> <source-file-2> ...]

Full documentation is available at http://step.esa.int/docs/tutorials/SNAP_CommandLine_Tutorial.pdf

Python integration

There is also a Docker-Container available with Python and SNAP integration with snappy based on this repo. Have a look at https://github.com/schwankner/esa-snap-with-python Or pull from docker:

docker pull mrmoor/esa-snap-with-python

docker-esa-snap's Issues

The .snap directory is protected on my system and hence the image fails

Dear Alexander,

Some modern filesystems such as CephFS have a protected folder called .snap that hence cannot be used for SNAP. I wonder if you would consider changing this in your docker images?

For example one could change ${HOME}/.snap to ${HOME}/.esa_snap. In this case the following changes are needed to the files in [snap installation dir]/etc:

1. In snap.properties you need to change the property snap.userdir.
   For example sit it to: snap.userdir="${HOME}/.esa_snap"
   Don’t forget to remove the ‘#’ at the beginning of the line.

2. In snap.conf you need to be change the default_userdir.
   Here change the default_userdir="${HOME}/.snap/system"
   to default_userdir="${HOME}/.esa_snap/system"

best regards,
R. Oonk
