[ome-users] omero Installation without nginx

[Simon Li]

Hi Andreas

All our production OMERO instances currently use Nginx, we haven't done any performance testing with Whitenoise. However based on the Whitenoise documentation I'd expect it to be fine for a small number of users. If you go into production with this setup it'd be great if you could follow up on this thread with your results, good or bad, as it's something others might be interested in.

Could you point me to the lines in ome.viewportImage.js and omeroweb.viewer.min.js that you had to change? We've had a similar bug report before: https://trello.com/c/emmH0lCd/520-omeroweb-extraneous-forward-slash-for-static-asset-location.

Thanks!
Simon

  Hi Simon,

  thanks for your mail!

  Ok, got that:  I switched debug to "FALSE".

  I've installed "whitenoise".  That was an easy task:

     pip install ..     and
     config append ..

  - ready.

  And I don't have to worry about a nginx installation. Nice!

  a nice day for all

  PS: 2 notes:

  - the user omero can not start a service on port 80. I fixed that with
    a local port-forwarding. It's mutch cheaper than a running nginx!

  - whitenoise has troubles with double slashes in a URL '//'. Some
    icon's where broken.

    I fixed that by hardcoding the two files ome.viewportImage.js and
    the file omeroweb.viewer.min.js

  .. I hope that is enought. Hints are welcome :-)
