EPOS Data portal is an open source, service-based data integration system. It is based on a microservices architecture. The current web page includes general documentation about EPOS, technical documentation on the overall functioning of the architecture, and source code for each microservice. The package will also provide multi-platform executables to allow for full installation locally or on one or more remote servers using Docker and Kubernetes. The version is released under the GPLv3 license.

Its provision enables other communities and research infrastructures to capitalize on the work done within EPOS under the umbrella of the European Commission. The design of EPOS's functionalities addresses different kinds of users, including those who want to use the software and install it on their own laptop, developers who want to access and modify the code, and system administrator users who want to deploy it on a server to create an infrastructure. This multi-faceted approach ensures that EPOS Open Source can be utilized by a wide range of users and can facilitate collaboration across different scientific disciplines.
Contributing is a great way to learn together about coding, new technologies and their ecosystems. If you want to contribute to the EPOS Open Source project and make it better, your help is very welcome.
