Instructions for using your own image folder don’t work

[alexwlchan]

The README contains some instructions for passing a directory of images into the Loris container:

Use your own image folder

Add your image directory as a volume

$ docker run -d -v <your-img-folder>:/usr/local/share/images -p 5004:5004 lorisimageserver/loris

But if I try this, it doesn’t work – I get errors when I try to look up an image:

Not Found: could not resolve identifier: cat.jpg (404)

Poking around inside the container, it seems like Loris is actually serving images from /opt/loris/tests/img instead – if I replace the command with

$ docker run -d -v ~/images:/opt/loris/tests/img -p 5004:5004 lorisimageserver/loris

then I see the behaviour I expect.

I’d offer a fix, but I’m not sure whether this should be a change to the README, or if it indicates a bug in the container.

I ran into the same issue and I can confirm this solution worked for me too! Thanks @alexwlchan

Maybe I found the issue.

In loris2.conf under [resolver] we find the following:

[resolver]
...
src_img_root = '/usr/local/share/images' # r--

However, in webapp.py on line 58 we see this:

# override some stuff to look at relative or tmp directories.
...
config['resolver']['src_img_root'] = path.join(project_dp,'tests','img')

So it seems that for one reason or another (maybe debugging) the config path is overwritten with a hardcoded path to the folder tests/img.
