Running a Local DataBroker

Place downloaded files

The shared Globus endpoint includes one messagepack (*.msgpack) file per Bluesky Run. DataBroker can run on top of these filesdirectly, and that's how we'll start. Alternatively, we can read the contents of these files into MongoDB to gain better performance and support for more advanced search queries. We'll address that process at the end. It may or may not be necessary depending on your needs.

Create a bootable Windows USB using macOS

For some reason, it is surprisingly hard to create a bootable Windows USB using macOS. These are my steps for doing so, which have worked for me in macOS Monterey (12.6.1) for Windows 10 and 11. After following these steps, you should have a bootable Windows USB drive.

1. Download a Windows disc image (i.e. ISO file)

You can download Windows 10 or Windows 11 directly from Microsoft.

2. Identify your USB drive

After plugging the drive to your machine, identify the name of the USB device using diskutil list, which should return an output like the one below. In my case, the correct disk name is disk2.
