4. SDVConfig Config Guide

Welcome to the SDVConfig config Guide!

Who should use this guide?

If you are searching for a way to run the sdvconfig code and don’t know how, this guide is for you.

There currently exists two ways of running the code, they are through commandline and through docker-http.

4.1. Commandline

The configuration required are as follows.

Use Python Virtual Environment Manager ` python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv python3 -m venv env source env/bin/activate ` Install the required packages from requirements.txt

` pip install -r requirements.txt ` Please refer the user guide on how to run the code on commandline.

4.2. docker-http

Make sure you have docker installed before proceeding any further.

The Dockerfile contents are as follows.

Build the docker image with the following command.

` docker build --tag <user>/sdvconfig:<version> ` You’ll see Docker step through each instruction in your Dockerfile, building up your image as it goes. If successful, the build process should end with a message Successfully tagged <user>/sdvconfig:<version>.

Finally we can run the image as a container with the follwing command.

` docker run -v /path/to/folder:/path/to/folder --publish 8000:8000 --detach --name config <user>/sdvconfig:<version> `

There are a couple of common flags here: - –publish asks Docker to forward traffic incoming on the host’s port 8000 to the container’s port 8080. Containers have their own private set of ports, so if you want to reach one from the network, you have to forward traffic to it in this way. Otherwise, firewall rules will prevent all network traffic from reaching your container, as a default security posture. - –detach asks Docker to run this container in the background. - –name specifies a name with which you can refer to your container in subsequent commands, in this case config. Finally we attach a volume from the localhost to the container so we can feed in files such as pdf, manifests to docker-http module and get the results persisted in this volume . This is done with ` -v `.

Please refer the user guide regarding the http requests.
