Looking for a setup guide for Docker-based installations

Describe Your Question

  • I’m new to OHIF and looking to set up a Docker-based installation of the OHIF Viewer. I’m seeking a clear, beginner-friendly guide on how to properly install and configure the software in a Docker environment. Additionally, I need guidance on how to access and retrieve DICOM data once the setup is complete. I’m unsure of the best practices for these processes and would appreciate step-by-step instructions.

  • Could you please specify which OHIF version is recommended for beginners and any specific considerations for Docker-based setups?

What steps can we follow to reproduce the bug?

Currently, I’m at the initial stage and have not proceeded with the installation due to the lack of a clear guide. I’ve just started with Portainer Stacks and this template:

version: ‘3.7’
services:
ohif:
image: ohif/viewer:latest
ports:
- “80:80”

However, the steps I plan to follow, based on my understanding, are:

  1. ( :white_check_mark:) Install Docker and Docker Compose on my system.
  2. ( :white_check_mark:) Pull the latest OHIF Viewer image from Docker Hub.
  3. Configure the docker-compose.yml file with the necessary environment variables and settings.
  4. Run the Docker Compose command to start the OHIF Viewer.

I’m concerned about the correct configuration and how to ensure the OHIF Viewer can communicate with a DICOM server for data retrieval. Any example configurations or code snippets would be greatly appreciated.

As I do not yet have a DICOM/PACS server / operate one privately, I would be very grateful for any help.

Is there no possibility of a direct import? A folder/volume to be integrated in which I can simply drop in and read out the DICOM data?

Or even better: import via drag & drop?

I am not sure if that will help but this github repo has a nice example of a configuration. GitHub - hyper4saken/ohif-orthanc: DockerCompose File for OHIF with Orthanc

I hope it helps.

Thank you very much! This is an excellent starting point.

In the next days, I need to do some troubleshooting on DICOM uploads (they failed very often) and by viewing my PET-CT data sets.

This is a great project. Love it! <3

Is there a way to run the latest version of OHIF with Orthanc (ohif/app:latest → Docker-based)?

Currently, I’m struggling with the config. It seems, there are a lot of changes to make it work. Not sure, which settings need to be done / changed. The OHIF docs are great, but don’t cover the docker-compose installation (with different data source integrations.)

Here you can find recipes for NginX and Orthanc and DCM4CHEE

Also we have other documentation on how to use docker

OP, were you able to configure your system? Would you please share your setup? I have deployed orthanc with nginx on RHEL9 but cannot get OHIF to work…
