There are different ways to run the docker image of your algorithm created with pesto build.

  • pesto run docker

pesto run docker '{"image":"file:///opt/algo-service/pesto/tests/resources/test_1/input/image.png"}' algo-service:1.0.0.dev0 /tmp/output_pesto.json

  • pesto run local

With this option, you can run the algorithm from a python environment where all dependencies are installed.

Either from your local environment:

pesto run local '{"image":"file:///opt/algo-service/pesto/tests/resources/test_1/input/image.png"}' /tmp/result.txt

Or from inside the container that has been generated:

docker run -it --rm -v /tmp:/tmp algo-service:1.0.0.dev0 bash -c "pesto run local '{\"image\":\"file:///opt/algo-service/pesto/tests/resources/test_1/input/image.png\"}' /tmp/result.txt"```

  • docker run

You can start a container with you packaged algorithm docker image directly with docker command:

docker run --rm -p 4000:8080 algo-service:1.0.0.dev0

This should start the container so that it can be accessed from http://localhost:4000.

  • start service

You can also launch your web service as follows : 

$ python {PESTO_PROJECT_ROOT}/algo_service/scripts/start_service.py

The webservice is by default available on the port 8080 (mapped to the port 4000 in the project) and offers the PESTO endpoints.
