The Pelican command line tool allows one to use a Pelican federation as a client and serve datasets through running a Pelican origin service.

To launch a Pelican origin, run the following:

pelican origin serve -f https://director.example.com -v /tmp/stash/:/test

The Open Science Data Federation (OSDF) is a well-known Pelican federation in support of the science and engineering communities in the US.

To launch an origin using OSDF defaults, rename the output binary from pelican to osdf. Then, run:

osdf origin serve -v /tmp/stash/:/test
