Run the Quilt catalog on your machine. Running quilt3 catalog launches a Python webserver on your local machine that serves a catalog web app and provides required backend services using temporary AWS credentials. Temporary credentials are derived from your default AWS credentials (or active AWS_PROFILE) using boto3.sts.get_session_token. For more details about configuring and using AWS credentials in boto3, see the AWS documentation: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/configuration.html

Previewing files in S3

The Quilt catalog allows users to preview files in S3 by downloading and processing/converting them inside the Python webserver running on local machine. Neither your AWS credentials nor data requested goes through any third-party cloud services aside of S3.

`config`

                        not put spaces before or after the = sign). If a value
                        contains spaces, you should define it with double
                        quotes: foo="this is a sentence". Note that values are

Environment variables

`QUILT_DISABLE_CACHE`

Turn off cache. Defaults to False.

export QUILT_DISABLE_CACHE=true

`QUILT_DISABLE_USAGE_METRICS`

Disable anonymous usage collection. Defaults to False

export QUILT_DISABLE_USAGE_METRICS=true

`QUILT_MANIFEST_MAX_RECORD_SIZE`

Maximum size of a record in package manifest. Setting this variable is strongly discouraged. Defaults to 1_000_000.

`QUILT_MINIMIZE_STDOUT`

Turn off TQDM progress bars for log files. Defaults to False

export QUILT_MINIMIZE_STDOUT=true

`QUILT_TRANSFER_MAX_CONCURRENCY`

Number of threads for file transfers. Defaults to 10.

This variable could be tried for improving file transfer rate. The optimal value depends on network bandwidth, CPU performance, file sizes, etc.

export QUILT_TRANSFER_MAX_CONCURRENCY=20

`XDG_*`

quilt3 uses platformdirs so you can set one or more of the XDG environment variables to customize where quilt3 writes to disk.

For example, AWS Lambda requires the user to use /tmp/* as the scratch directory. You can override quilt3.util.CACHE_PATH, so that quilt3 install will succeed, by setting the XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable in code or in your AWS Lambda environment variables.

You must set XDG environment variables before import quilt3 in order for them to take effect.
