This is the repository of the french National Access Point (NAP) for mobility data.
This project brings a mobility focus on data hosted on data.gouv.fr, the french open data portal.
You will find user documentation at doc.transport.data.gouv.fr.
A status dashboard is available at https://stats.uptimerobot.com/q7nqyiO9yQ for a part of the project.
A small glossary explaining the various terms can be found in this repo (glossary.md). Please feel free to add any term which appears initially foreign there.
You can install this 2 different ways:
- manually, this is the best way to install it if you plan to work often on the project.
- with docker, this is an easier installation process at the cost of a slightly more cumbersome development workflow.
Make sure you have Elixir, Node.js and Yarn installed and up-to-date. Docker is optionnally needed if you want to run on your machine the extra transport tools.
Elixir is often installed with asdf since it makes it easy to handle different Elixir versions accross projects.
If you wish to use asdf (recommended), make sure to install the correct plugins:
asdf plugin-add erlang(https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-erlang)asdf plugin-add elixir(https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-elixir)asdf plugin-add nodejs(https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs)
Installation for Erlang, Elixir and Node.js can then be done with:
asdf install
For Yarn, bring your version or also use asdf:
asdf plugin-add yarn(https://github.com/twuni/asdf-yarn)asdf install yarn 1.22.19(or any other version)asdf global yarn 1.22.19
You also need an up-to-date PostgreSQL with Postgis installed. Version 14+ is recommended.
For Mac users, you can use https://postgresapp.com/.
- Install Elixir dependencies with
mix deps.get - Install Node.js dependencies with
mix yarn install
Alternatively, you can use Docker, see the Docker section.
Make sure you have a postgres user with postgres password, and that the identification methode is set to md5 in your pg_hba.conf file.
Create the database with the command mix ecto.create.
Alternatively, you can create it manually. With the permission to create a database (on Debian based system, you need to be logged as postgres), type
createdb transport_repo.
To have an up to date database schema run mix ecto.migrate.
The production database does not contains any sensitive data, you can retreive it for dev purpose.
- You can retrieve the latest clever-cloud backup (you need some permissions to access it, if you don't have them, you can ask someone on the team to give you the database)
- On the clever-cloud website, under transport-site-postgresql, there is a Backups section with download links.
- restore the downloaded backup on you database:
./restore_db.sh <path_to_the_backup>
The app uses a number of tools via transport-tools.
They are expected at ./transport-tools by default (but this can be configured via :transport_tools_folder in config.exs).
When working locally, you may want to have these tools readily available at times.
mkdir transport-tools
cd transport-tools
# jars are cross-platform, so we can copy them from the container (see `transport-tools` repository for exact naming)
# here we share the host folder `transport-site/transport-tools` with a folder inside the container named `/tmp-docker-folder`,
# in order to copy back the exact same jars we use in production
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/tmp-docker-folder ghcr.io/etalab/transport-tools:latest /bin/sh -c "cp /usr/local/bin/*.jar /tmp-docker-folder"
For Rust binaries, you will have to compile them locally and copy them to the same folder.
Once this is done, make sure to configure your configuration via :transport_tools_folder.
Run the server with mix phx.server and you can visit 127.0.0.1:5000 on your browser.
apps/unlock is a sub-part of the "umbrella app", which is served on its own subdomain (https://proxy.transport.data.gouv.fr for production, https://proxy.prochainement.transport.data.gouv.fr/ for staging).
The proxy relies on this yaml configuration which is currently fetched at runtime once (but can be hot-reloaded via this backoffice page).
Each proxied "feed" (currently GTFS-RT data) has a private (target) url hidden from the general public, can be configured with an independent Time-To-Live (TTL), and is exposed as a credential-free public url to the public. When a query occurs, the incoming HTTP connection is kept on hold while the proxy issues a query to the target server, caching the response in RAM based on the configured TTL.
The backoffice implementation leverages LiveView to provide an automatically updated dashboard view with all the feeds, the size of the latest payload, the latest HTTP code returned by the target etc. Implementation is here.
When working in development, instead of fetching the configuration from GitHub, the configuration is taken from a local config file (config/proxy-config.yml, see config), in order to make it very easy to play with sample configurations locally.
For local work, you will have (for now at least) to add proxy.localhost 127.0.0.1 to your /etc/hosts file.
The app currently routes whatever starts with proxy. to the proxy (as implemented here), although in the future we will probably use a more explicit configuration.
By default the development configuration is very simple and only allows the most basic scenarios.
If you need to login via demo.data.gouv.fr, follow these steps:
- Create or edit
config/dev.secret.exs - Add:
config :oauth2, Datagouvfr.Authentication,
# go to CleverCloud staging site and pick `DATAGOUVFR_CLIENT_ID`
client_id: "TODO-REPLACE",
# same but use `DATAGOUVFR_CLIENT_SECRET`
client_secret: "TODO-REPLACE"Then make sure to restart the app.
The rest of the configuration is already set via dev.exs, with:
config :oauth2, Datagouvfr.Authentication,
# SNIP
site: "https://demo.data.gouv.fr",
redirect_uri: "http://localhost:5000/login/callback"Run the tests with mix test
The application is an umbrella app. It means that it is split into several sub-projects (that you can see under /apps).
To run tests for a specific app, for example the transport or unlock app, use this command:
# for apps/transport app
mix cmd --app transport mix test --color
# for apps/unlock
mix cmd --app unlock mix test --color
# or, for a single file, or single test
mix cmd --app transport mix test --color test/transport_web/integrations/backoffice_test.exs
mix cmd --app transport mix test --color test/transport_web/integrations/backoffice_test.exs:8
The filenames must be relative to the app folder. This will be improved when we upgrade to a more modern Elixir version.
We use excoveralls to measure which parts of the code are covered by testing (or not). This is useful to determine where we can improve the testing quality.
The following commands will launch the test and generate coverage:
# Display overall (whole app) coverage for all tests in the console
MIX_ENV=test mix coveralls --umbrella
# Same with a HTML report
MIX_ENV=test mix coveralls.html --umbrella
# Display coverage for each umbrella component, rather
MIX_ENV=test mix coveralls
The coverage is written on screen by default, or in the cover subfolders for HTML output.
Running in --umbrella mode will generate coverage report at the top-level cover folder, while running without it will generate reports under each umbrella sub-app (e.g. apps/transport/cover).
- Run the elixir linter with
mix credo --strict - Run the javascript linter with
mix npm "run linter:ecma" - Run the sass linter with
mix npm "run linter:sass"
To extract all translations from the source, you can run mix gettext.extract --merge (and then edit the modified .po files).
To perform all the checks done on the CI with a single command, you can run mix check_all. It will run the different linters, credo, check the translations are up-to-date, and launch the tests.
To generate a new migration file:
cd apps/transport && mix ecto.gen.migration <name of the migration> && cd ../..
The generated ecto migration file will be apps/transport/priv/repo/migrations/<timestamp>_<name of the migration>.exs
To apply all migrations on you database:
mix ecto.migrate
Some custom one shot tasks are available.
To run a custom task: mix <custom task>
mix Transport.ImportAOMs: import the aom data from the ceremamix Transport.ImportCommunes: import the french communes from data.gouvmix Transport.ImportEPCI: import the french EPCI from data.gouvmix Transport.ImportDepartements: import the french Départements from data.gouvmix Transport.OpenApiSpec: generate an OpenAPI specification file
To locally test emails in a dev environment, a Swoosh preview inbox available in your browser at /dev/mailbox. Your server needs to be run through iex : iex -S mix phx.server.
See the learning track document.
If you don't plan to work a lot on this project, the Docker installation is way easier.
Some environment variables may be needed to configure the app, see the files in the config folder.
Then you only need to run:
docker-compose up
And access it at http://localhost:5000
You can make changes in the repository and those will be applied with hot reload.
You can run any mix command with:
docker-compose run web mix <cmd>
For the tests you also need to add an environment variable:
docker-compose run -e web mix test
The Dockerfile needed to run the continuous integration is in the project: https://github.com/etalab/transport-ops
Update it if needed (e.g. updating Elixir’s version) and then update .circleci/config.yml.
The following domain names are currently in use by the deployed Elixir app:
- Production
- Staging
These names are configured via a CNAME on CleverCloud.
The corresponding SSL certificates are auto-generated via Let's Encrypt and CleverCloud.
The following URLs are currently monitored via updown.io (with email & Mattermost alerts) at various frequencies
- https://transport.data.gouv.fr/health-check (https://updown.io/pl8a) every minute

The project blog code and articles are hosted in the blog folder of the blog branch. A specific blog branch has been created with less restrictive merge rules, to allow publishing articles directly from the CMS without needing a github code review.
Technically, the blog is a hugo static website, enhanced with netlifyCMS that is automatically deployed using Netlify. NetlifyCMS allows github users who have write access to this repo to write and edit articles, without the need to use git nor github.
To write or edit an article, visit https://blog.transport.data.gouv.fr/admin/.
For developement purposes, you can run the blog locally. Install hugo, open a terminal, go the blog folder of the project and run hugo serve.
MacOS come with a pre-installed version of LibreSSL which is a fork from OpenSSL. This could cause trouble since it's considered as a "no usable OpenSSL" by Erlang.
We can fix this error in 2 steps :
- Install OpenSSL 1.1 (via homebrew for example)
> brew install --prefix=openssl
- Force the use of the installed version when installing erlang by setting the --with-ssl option in the KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS variable.
> export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--with-ssl=$(brew --prefix --installed openssl@1.1)"
> asdf install erlang 24.0.4
