Configuring storage
This article goes trough fairly complicated process for configuring camera folders and mounting drives to gain access to /output
folder where all your image data relies. Article expects that your storage is Windows machine with samba cifs
share.
This article is written for Docker use case where whole application is running in Docker host, as example Ubuntu Server 20.04.
This one is most painful to do. Open-Intelligence is limited to have only one root folder which under you can find folders, one for each camera like camera_1, camera_2 and so on. Open docker-compose.yml
-> open-intelligence-app-py
section and make configuration as follows:
volumes:
- E:/CAMERA_SOURCE:/input_test
where E:/CAMERA_SOURCE
is REAL path where contents are stored at and /input_test
is where it's mapped inside container.
Then open config.ini
and make your configuration as follows:
[camera]
cameras_root_path=/input_test
camera_names=Camera1,Camera2,
camera_folders=/camera_1/,/camera_2/
-
cameras_root_path
is one which got mapped in container. -
camera_folders
specified separating with comma are actual separate camera folder names.
Yes.. this is currently complicated to understand but once you get it working it makes sense.
- Output is main folder for Open-Intelligence to put all image data.
- Recommended way is to have dedicated storage space somewhere which is possibly mirrored with RAID.
Docker host machine mount setup
sudo mkdir /mnt/oi-output-mount
sudo mount -t cifs -o user=<your-user-account> //<storage-server-address>/output /mnt/oi-output-mount
- open
docker-compose.yml
and inopen-intelligence-front
section -> make sure you have following:
volumes:
- /mnt/oi-output-mount/:/usr/src/output/
Getting output
mount work with processing python nodes is bit more complicated. This instruction is for Linux host.
Edit your config.ini
and make output_folder
variable something like this:
[app]
output_folder=/output/
then open docker-compose.yml and edit each of -py section volume configuration as follows:
volumes:
- ./:/app
- /mnt/oi-output-mount:/output
This will map earlier added storage mount /mnt/oi-output-mount
into now at config.ini
configured /output
folder. My case is more complicated because Windows machine hosts cifs mount which is mounted to Linux host running docker containers which then mount this mount. It's mountception.
