VisionMD_Backend

Introduction

This repository contains the BackEnd of VisionMD software, a tool used for quantificaition of motor symtoms from videos.

To run this repository, you also need to download the FrontEnd, which is also available in github.

Running the BackEnd and front end toguether allows you to modify both components to fit your needs.

Stand alone application

If you only want to run the softare without modifying it, please visit the dev branch. Instructions to download and run a stand alone application are avaliable there.

The stand alone application is only available for Window and MacOS.

Windows / MacOS

To setup the project locally, you need to install anaconda, which can be obtained from here. Please make sure to install the correct version for your OS.

After succesfully installing anaconda, open a new terminal window in the folder containing the repository andcreate a new virtual environment with Python 3.10

conda create --name VisionMD python=3.10

Activate the virtual environment using the following command:

conda activate VisionMD

and install the requiered packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

Start the server using the following command:

python manage.py runserver

Server runs on port 8080

To terminate the server, press Control + C

Linux

To setup the project locally, you need to install Python3 before proceeding.

Open a new terminal window in the folder containing the repository and create a vitual environment using the following command:

python3.10 -m venv VisionMD

Activate the virtual environment using the following command:

source VisionMD/bin/activate

and install the requiered packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

Start the server using the following command:

python manage.py runserver

Server runs on port 8080

To terminate the server, press Control + C

Running the Backend with Docker Compose

Prerequisites

• Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed on your system.

Steps

1. Build the Docker Images:

   docker compose build

   This command builds the Docker images specified in your docker-compose.yml file.

2. Start the Containers:

   docker compose up -d

   This command starts the containers in detached mode. The -d flag ensures that the containers run in the background.

3. Stop and Remove Containers with Volumes:

   docker compose down --volumes

   This command stops and removes the containers, along with any associated volumes, ensuring a clean state.

---

You can now efficiently build, start, and stop your backend using Docker Compose with these commands.
