kitware/paraviewweb repository overview

⁠Introduction

This repository contains images useful for running/deploying ParaViewWeb. This documentation, along with the Dockerfiles used to build the images (as well as everything else related to ParaViewWeb) are hosted on our Github repo⁠.

⁠Images

There are currently several kinds of images available, though you would normally only need to run the pvw-v5.6.0-visualizer one for the simplest deployment:

• pv-v5.6.0-egl: Base image containing ParaView 5.6 binary with EGL rendering support. This image is based off the nvidia/opengl⁠ images. Dockerfile⁠
• 'pv-v5.6.0-osmesa': Same as above, but with OSMesa rendering for running on machines with no underlying nvidia graphics card. The same Dockerfile as above is used to build thei image.
• pvw-v5.6.0-egl and pvw-v5.6.0-osmesa: Built on top of the ParaView images above, this adds the Apache webserver, along with some extra scripts and configuration files used by the next image in the stack. Dockerfile⁠
• pvw-v5.6.0-egl-demo and pvw-v5.6.0-egl-visualizer: Built on top of the pvw-v5.6.0-egl image, these add an Apache endpoint for custom applications, and bring a custom launcher config. Dockerfile⁠

⁠EC2 Deployment

For additional information on how to deploy these images on Amazon EC2, please refer to the ParaViewWeb guide on EC2⁠.
