A scalable, containerized analytic and application framework for creating interactive web applications around long running (batch style) analytics.

Getting Started

Rt 106 is a Docker-based system with a micro-service architecture. The simplest way to get up and running is with a single host setup using Docker Compose. This type of setup supports Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows 10. We recommend using Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows on the Mac and Windows platforms. The older Docker Toolbox is not supported.

  1. Install Docker and Docker Compose on the host computer.
  2. Install the example Rt 106 Docker-compose script. This script can be installed using Git. 
    $ git clone https://github.com/rt106/rt106.git
  3. Create a file .env next to the docker-compose.yml in the rt106 directory. The contents of the .env file should be 
    Rt106_SERVE_APP=public
LOCAL_DATA_DIR=path_to_where_bulk_data_can_be_stored

    Rt106_SERVE_APP is used configure the Rt 106 web server to serve a small demonstration application. LOCAL_DATA_DIR is used to configure a rt106-datastore to use the host filesystem to store images and other bulk data.

  4. Create a file docker-compose.dev.yml next to the docker-compose.yml that contains 
     version: '3'
 services:
   # configure the Rt 106 web serve to serve a small demo application
   web:
     environment:
       Rt106_SERVE_APP: ${Rt106_SERVE_APP}
   # tell the datastore to download a set of demonstration data
   datastore:
     environment:
       DOWNLOAD_RAD_DEMO_DATA: "on"

    This configures Rt 106 to serve a small demonstration application. It also tells the rt106-datastore to download a set of demonstration data from the Visible Human Project.

  5. Run Rt 106 
    $ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
  6. Point a browser at http://localhost:80
  7. To stop the Rt 106 system 
    $ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml down

It will take a few minutes for the demonstration data to download. Unfortunately, the status of the download is not yet displayed on the user interface. Refresh to see if the demonstration data has completed downloading. Once downloaded, there will be two patients listed - Adam and Eve. Once the data is downloaded, you can edit the docker-compose.dev.yml file and set DOWNLOAD_DEMO_DATA to off to skip this step in the future.

If your host computer sits behind a proxy server, you may need to modify the docker-compose.dev.yml file as below to configure the rt106-datastore to route through the proxy server in order to download the demonstration data.

# tell the datastore to download a set of demonstration data
datastore:
  environment:
    DOWNLOAD_RAD_DEMO_DATA: "on"
    http_proxy: url_for_proxy_server
    https_proxy: url_for_secure_proxy_server
    no_proxy: list_of_hosts_to_skip_proxy_server
