Install Glympse

To install glympse we first need to create a docker compose file and then an env file. These two files will allow you to configure most out of the box settings. Once you’re set these up, you will be able to change more setting from the webui.

Services default to enabled, to disable a service, change yes to no in the environment section of the compose file. To enable a service, either change the environment variable to yes or delete/comment the line.

UWSGI and NGINX are required for the webui service

The following compose file will enable all services in a single container. This will work but it is possible that the transcoding and transcribing tasks can slow down the webui if you’re running on a slower machine.

If you are going to be running the transcoder or the transcription engine, you will need an Nvidia GPU. To find the device ID run nvidia_smi on the system you will be installing the container. This will give you an output that looks like this:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

The device id is in the third row, just above the memory:

+========================+
|   00000000:01:00.0  On |
|     893MiB /   8192MiB |
|                        |
+------------------------+

In this case the device id is: 00000000:01:00.0

Add this to your compose file. A file that runs all services with a gpu looks like:

If you are install Glympse on a second system or a system other than where the raw camera files are stored you can use the following to mount the volumes as smb shares:

volumes:
  rushes:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: cifs
      o: username=<sbm_username>,password=<smb_password>,ro,domain=localhost
      device: \\smb\share\path

Alternatively you can use a nfs share:

volumes:
  rushes:
    driver_opts:
      type: nfs
      o: "addr=<nfs-server-ip>,nolock,soft,rw"
      device: ":/full/share/path"

You will need to make sure that if you are mounting the raw rushes volume that you mount this as ro or read only so Glympse can not make any changes to the raw rushes.

If you are mounting the glympse mediafiles or logs, you will need to mount this as rw or read write so Glympse can create the files.
