[ome-users] omero Installation without nginx

[Andreas Mueller]

  Hi Simon,

  of course:

  $ cd OMERO.server/
  $ find . -type f | xargs grep -l '/3rdparty.pan.*ima'

  brought me:

    ./lib/python/omeroweb/webgateway/static/webgateway/js/ome.viewportImage.js
    ./lib/python/omeroweb/static/webgateway/js/ome.viewportImage.js
    ./lib/python/omeroweb/static/omeroweb.viewer.min.js

  and, as mentioned in trello, I've done:

  $ sed -i "s/\/3rdparty\//3rdparty\//g" 

  for the three files.  Restart web and ready.
 ____

  I'll share my whitenoise experience

  with best regards
  Andreas


  PS: How do you solve the port-80-problem in docker ?
