Docker

I have started a docker. How do I access the specific contents?

Open the terminal and type docker ps. There you'll find the pseudonym for your docker instance. An example would be "eager_student".

Now type docker exec -it -u root eager_student bash. You are now in a terminal inside your docker instance. To exit, type exit.

Web Based User-Interface

The software ran, but I have encountered an Error

Make sure that you have supplied image files in the correct format (as seen in the middle of the UI).

You can read extract the log files from the docker for analysis. First, enter the docker with your terminal (see above). Then, you can locate the logs in this directory:

/path/to/logs

Lastly, you can always submit a bug report here:   Issues

I have closed the Terminal while using the Web Interface

Leave the terminal running while using VesselExpress. The terminal hosts VesselExpress and when you close it, the connection to the webseite is lost and your calculations interrupted.

Is VesselExpress running on a Webseite?

No, VesselExpress is running on the machine you execute the docker in. You use the Webseite to communicate with your docker. That means, calculations made, are running on your own device and VesselExpress' performance is dependent on the hardware you supply.

Does VesselExpress work with Microsoft Internet Explorer?

Currently, VesselExpress does not support Microsoft Internet Explorer. Alternatively, you can try using other Browsers, i.e. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
