visionappster/va-engine repository overview

⁠What is VisionAppster Engine?

The VisionAppster Engine is a cross-platform runtime for running vision apps. It provides platform-independent apps a consistent, high-performance execution environment. The Engine and all running apps can be controlled through a REST API published through a built-in web server. For more details, please see our documentation site⁠.

⁠How to use this image?

⁠Basic usage

Start the Engine:

docker run -p 2015:2015 visionappster/va-engine

Then navigate to the Engine's management page at http://localhost:2015⁠.

If you want to store installed VisionAppster packages outside of the container, you can use volumes⁠ to store data to the host system.

docker run -p 2015:2015 -v /my/va-data/packages:/opt/visionappster/packages -v /my/va-data/components:/opt/visionappster/components -v /my/va-data/licenses:/opt/visionappster/licenses visionappster/va-engine

⁠Advanced usage

Automatically start apps when the engine fires up:

docker run [OPTIONS] visionappster/va-engine va-run /opt/visionappster/init/init.qml webServer=0.0.0.0:2015 autoStart=com.example.app/1/,com.example.anotherapp/1/

Start the Engine without the web management interface:

docker run [OPTIONS] visionappster/va-engine va-run /opt/visionappster/init/api-init.qml autoStart=....

This is useful if you just want to start an app or apps that provide APIs and don't want to let users to control the Engine itself.
