Description
make a docker container for rescuebox .
rb-dev:2.1.0 , build file
this container has the : python + poetry + pip + ollama installed. ffmpeg for audio-transcribe
also sudo is enable for root access inside the container
VScode : devcontainer info extension has to be used. customize has to be config done, not too bad ..
for backend python it was easier , so most folks can proceed ..
**## checkout src code hackathon branch > start vscode > install devcontainer extention > customize devcontainer > run container. > run_server > browser http://localhost:8000 **
after RescueBox container is up you get into shell you can execute run_server to start the rescuebox backend server. Next use the autoui on port 8000 from browser on your laptop to try out existing plugins. note: this UI is for dev work only.
Optional : for electron frontend node dependencies are present in container and it works. windows laptop however needs a X11 server like mobaXterm running for UI to show up. cd to Desktop inside the container shell and run npm start
for pipleine work : rabbitmq is useful and this is packaged in another container rb-dev:2.1.1 , also put in ollama models which made the image huge but should speed things up ?
start rabbitmq , start ollama serve , confirm ollama list shows model , start celery worker , and then try out sample pipeline
