Status

Watch the space

Pre-requisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Setup

Setup Local Data Directory

./setup.sh

Effect:

• That will create .temp/data and change permissions to allow texture write access.

Build images

make build

or:

docker-compose build

Effect:

• Creates local elifesciences/* Docker images.

Run containers

make start logs

(use make stop to stop the server)

or:

docker-compose up

Effect:

• Starts all the Docker containers.
• The demo website will be available on port 8000 (via nginx).
• nginx will forward requests based on the path (e.g. root to texture, /api to ScienceBeam)
• Other ports may also be exposed but are not required

Note: If the ScienceBeam API request fails the first time, this may be due to a timeout while it is loading the models. It may work on subsequent requests.

Convert Sample PDFs using ScienceBeam Container

./sciencebeam-convert-examples.sh

Effect:

• Downloads sample PDFs
• Converts PDF by running the elifesciences/sciencebeam container

Front End

• Please read the README file in the demo folder to setup the Front End for seeing styling changes, without needing to rebuild the Docker image.
