setup_dbt_local.md

Run the following commands:

• cd dbt_local
• docker-compose build (to create the images)

To run dbt cli commands use docker-compose run. For instance, to build the dbt project in the production environment:

• docker-compose run dbt-pg-ghcnd build --target prod --vars "{'is_test_run': false,'start_year':1770,'end_year':1780}"

Note: This is not needed but, just for reference...
To run dbt_local from scratch and create a new project, run the following command before docker-compose up:
docker-compose run dbt-pg-ghcnd-init ... to create a new project under current directory. Project name and connection will be asked. From the docker-compose.yaml file, dbt-pg-ghcnd-init service is started (run means to run a command in a running service, but if it is not running, it is launched, and the command is init) from dbt-pg-ghcnd-init image, made from the Dockerfile, which has entry point dbt, so we are executing dbt init, which will ask for some parameters to create the project:
- Enter the name of the project: ghcnd
- Enter 1 to select postgres adapter
Project is created under ./ghcnd directory and ./dbt/profiles.yml is created
Edit ./dbt/profiles.yml to setup postgres adaptor for the outputs (dev/prod)
