MorphoCut Server

This repository contains the MorphoCut web application that serves as a frontend for the MorphoCut library.

Running the development version

During development, Flask and Vue run natively on the host. PostgreSQL and Redis run in their respective Docker containers.

Prerequisites

• To run PostgreSQL and Redis, you need Docker Compose.

• To run the Python application, create a Conda environment by running the following in the repository root:

  conda env create -f environment.yml # Create a prespecified environment

• To run the Vue application, you need to have NodeJS installed. Then install the required packages:

  /$ cd morphocut_server/frontend
  /morphocut_server/frontend/$ npm install # Install all the required packages

Run the application

• Start PostgreSQL and Redis. The services will run as long as the window is not closed.

  /$ docker-compose up postgres redis # Start the PostgreSQL and Redis containers exposing the relevant ports

• In a new window, start Flask:

  /$ source activate_dev # Activate the environment and set appropriate environment variables
  /$ flask run # Run the flask application, reloading automatically as necessary.
  ...
  * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
  ...

• In a third window, start Vue:

  /$ cd morphocut_server/frontend
  /morphocut_server/frontend/$ npm run serve # Run the Vue frontend, reloading automatically as necessary.
  ...
