Summary: [GSoC] User data storage management
Key: AIRAVATA-3004
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-3004
Project: Airavata
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Django Portal
Reporter: Marcus Christie
The Airavata Django Portal [1] allows users to create computational experiments
and as part of that users can upload files that are used as inputs to those
experiments. The portal also stores and displays the outputs generated by those
experiments. However, users are limited in what they can do with these files in
the following ways:
* users can't reuse an input file in another experiment - the user must
re-upload the file from their desktop
* users can't delete files that aren't needed any longer, consuming unnecessary
disk space
* users can't manage how files are organized
The Django Portal should allow users to browse and manage their files including:
* create directories
* upload files
* move files
* delete files
The Django Portal should also allow users to reference these files when
creating a computational experiment. A user should be able to pick a previously
uploaded file to use as an input file.
Care should be taken to implement the backend and frontend functionality in a
storage backend agnostic way. The initial implementation would target the
existing portal server filesystem storage backend, but we anticipate adding
additional backends in the future (for example, Box, Dropbox, AWS S3, etc.).
Students would need good web development skills, both backend (Django/Python)
and frontend (JavaScript/HTML/CSS) skills.
