The Notification Orchestration Service controls the creation of notification events.
The Notification Orchestration Service (NOS) uses data harvested from events published by various services to form Notification events, which are subsequently consumed by the Notification Service (NS) for dissemination.
We recommend using the provided Docker container.
A pre-build version is available at docker hub:
docker pull ghga/notification-orchestration-service:2.1.0Or you can build the container yourself from the ./Dockerfile:
# Execute in the repo's root dir:
docker build -t ghga/notification-orchestration-service:2.1.0 .For production-ready deployment, we recommend using Kubernetes, however, for simple use cases, you could execute the service using docker on a single server:
# The entrypoint is preconfigured:
docker run -p 8080:8080 ghga/notification-orchestration-service:2.1.0 --helpIf you prefer not to use containers, you may install the service from source:
# Execute in the repo's root dir:
pip install .
# To run the service:
nos --helpThe service requires the following configuration parameters:

A template YAML for configurating the service can be found at
./example-config.yaml.
Please adapt it, rename it to .nos.yaml, and place it into one of the following locations:
- in the current working directory were you are execute the service (on unix:
./.nos.yaml) - in your home directory (on unix:
~/.nos.yaml)
The config yaml will be automatically parsed by the service.
Important: If you are using containers, the locations refer to paths within the container.
All parameters mentioned in the ./example-config.yaml
could also be set using environment variables or file secrets.
For naming the environment variables, just prefix the parameter name with nos_,
e.g. for the host set an environment variable named nos_host
(you may use both upper or lower cases, however, it is standard to define all env
variables in upper cases).
To using file secrets please refer to the corresponding section of the pydantic documentation.
This is a Python-based service following the Triple Hexagonal Architecture pattern. It uses protocol/provider pairs and dependency injection mechanisms provided by the hexkit library.
For setting up the development environment, we rely on the devcontainer feature of VS Code in combination with Docker Compose.
To use it, you have to have Docker Compose as well as VS Code with its "Remote - Containers"
extension (ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) installed.
Then open this repository in VS Code and run the command
Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container from the VS Code "Command Palette".
This will give you a full-fledged, pre-configured development environment including:
- infrastructural dependencies of the service (databases, etc.)
- all relevant VS Code extensions pre-installed
- pre-configured linting and auto-formatting
- a pre-configured debugger
- automatic license-header insertion
Moreover, inside the devcontainer, a convenience commands dev_install is available.
It installs the service with all development dependencies, installs pre-commit.
The installation is performed automatically when you build the devcontainer. However,
if you update dependencies in the ./pyproject.toml or the
./requirements-dev.txt, please run it again.
