SeisComP lab

A single-host SeisComP learning lab on Ubuntu 24.04 in AWS: public gsm packages, local MariaDB, GEOFON SeedLink, and an XFCE desktop. No containers, no commercial gempa modules.

Deploy the lab See architecture

What you build

One EC2 in a public subnet. The host pulls BH streams from GEOFON, runs automatic picking and location, stores a catalog in MariaDB, and serves FDSNWS on localhost. You reach the box with SSM. Optional RDP opens XFCE for scconfig, scrttv, scolv, and the other public GUIs.

This follows gempa’s supported path: Linux LTS + gsm, not Docker. Only the public repository is used (AGPL SeisComP).

t3.xlarge is not cheap to leave on. Stop it when you are not using the desktop. See Walkthrough.
