README

        
A community-driven catalog of Open Data Portals around the world.

[![Portals](https://github.com/okfn/dataportals.org/actions/workflows/frictionless.yaml/badge.svg)](https://repository.frictionlessdata.io/pages/dashboard.html?user=okfn&repo=dataportals.org&flow=portals)

This repository contains the [data](data/README.md) as well as the code

for the DataPortals.org website.

## History

[The original plans for DataCatalogs.org - Feb 2013](https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/document/d/1MP1eaxUPir9msLt4rRwYqdupE3-qeLZAqFXRiXuvwkA/edit).

Other ideas may be listed as Issues in this repository.

## Community

You can discuss with the community any ideas on how to improve the

project or otherwise share your thoughts. Conversations with the Open

Knowledge community are held in the

[discussion forum](https://discuss.okfn.org/c/open-knowledge-labs/dataportals). 

### Contributing to the catalogue

You can contribute additions or corrections to the data portal list by

opening a new issue in the repository. Please check the

[list of outstanding issues](https://github.com/okfn/dataportals.org/issues)

first to see if your suggestion or change is already listed there to

avoid duplicates.

If you can, submitting a pull request to changet the

[data.csv](https://github.com/okfn/dataportals.org/blob/master/data/portals.csv)

file would be even better. See the

[datapackage.json](https://github.com/okfn/dataportals.org/blob/master/data/datapackage.json)

file to find out the structure of the csv and the meaning of each column.

### Developing the website

This app requires NodeJS (>= v9.11).

1. Clone this repo:

    ```bash

    git clone --recursive [email protected]:okfn/dataportals.org.git

    ```

    You need to use `--recursive` because this repository uses Recline as a

    [git submodule](https://github.blog/2016-02-01-working-with-submodules/#joining-a-project-using-submodules).

2. Install the dependencies:

    ```bash

        npm install .

    ```

    Alternatively, you can use Docker to run the application. In that

    case, build the container instead:

    ```bash

    docker build --rm -t dataportals .

    ```

    If you are building a development environment, please use:

    ```bash

    docker build --rm -t dataportals . --build-arg NODE_ENV=development

    ```

    so that you can get debugging information.

3. Try it out locally:

    ```bash

        node app.js

    ```

    Or, if you're using Docker, start the container instead:

    ```bash

    docker run --rm --name dataportals -p 5000:5000 -it dataportals node app.js

    ```

   Then point your browser at http://localhost:5000/

   > Note: ctrl+c does not stop the application. You'll have to open another

   > terminal, run `docker ps` to find out the container id. Then use

   > `docker stop [container_id]`, replacing what's inside the brackets

   > with the proper container id.

#### Deployment

We deploy by default to Heroku. The app is currently configured to deploy on each push to master.
