Cogstack-NiFi documentation

CogStack
1

I’ve just deployed cogstack. I had some problems with the documentation, though:

  1. In the prerequisites, it says to run cd deploy && git-update-submodules. git-update-submodules isn’t a command. I wonder if the author has an alias for git submodule update --init --remote --recursive?

  2. I couldn’t get the NiFi UI to run. In the workflows docs, it says to open localhost:8080. I couldn’t connect through that, and docker ps reckons port 8082 is the nifi UI. I couldn’t get that to work either, but I was trying to use port forwarding from a remote, so it might just be me!

As a side-note, some of the markdown rendering (e.g. code blocks and links) isn’t working. I would be happy to fix some of it and make a PR, but I don’t want to be rude!

Hello,

This is indeed a typo on the documentation side rather than an alias. The 3rd step should be : `bash ./scripts/git_update_submodules_in_repo.sh`.

I’ve updated the docs accordingly with these modifications.

If you started nifi using the make start-nifi command within the /deploy folder and everything Is running, then you can access this via port 8443 : https:///:8443/. The services section will have the most up to date service references, internall, NiFi uses 8082 and 10000, but externally, it will be 8443.

Regarding the workflow section, I am in the process of re-documenting it as some workflows have been altered and now have extra requirements.
