Hello We want to be able to distribute our app using docker. Has anyone been successful in this? We experience problems getting the debian package installed without errors (the errors are related to run-level determination) after installation we can compile and link against the cvb library but we …

Nevermind Turns out you have to disable the firewall completely on the host system systemctl firewalld stop for the watermark to disappear, can you confirm this? the new host system is centos7 btw.

Hi there! when working with a CameraSuite license, this behaviour would in fact make sense because the license validity check relies on being able to every now and then talk to the camera. If a firewall prevents this, this would in fact be interpreted as “camera is not there” in which case the Came…

Hello, I am trying to get a Teledyne-DALSA-Linea-GigE camera working inside Docker using CVBpy. I followed the steps described above, and now I can connect to the camera from within Docker. However, when I start a stream and wait for images (stream.wait_for(…) ), I never receive an image and a time…

Hi @patryk105 , this sound again like either a firewall or routing problem. GEV uses a standardized port for its control protocol. And statefull firewalls can hande a request answer which originated inside of its system. For streaming, though, the camera starts the connection to the dynamically assi…

Hi all, I am also facing the same issue and am not able to fix it even by following the above instructions. My Dockerfile is based on the instructions given by @parsd : FROM ubuntu:16.04 RUN apt update && apt install -y unzip multiarch-support libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libice6 libsm6 libx11-6 l…

Hi @wedjati , first, thank you for your evaluation work. The “Failed to retrieve/decode the log config” message is just a warning. You can also ignore that. It simply states that no logging will be done. Second, regarding the acquisition part: Can you ping you device from within the docker contai…

Hi @parsd Many thanks for the reply. I am able to ping the device both from the host and from inside the container. Actually I had forgot about configuring the GenICam.ini file, however I am planning on using the discovery API going on, so the example you supplied matches my use case. After changin…

Hi @wedjati , These messages are an indication that the :cvb: log service doesn’t seem to be up and running. The service executable is ${CVB}/bin/siLogSvc - if that is running it opens a small block of shared memory to initiate loopback communication with those modules that are capable of generating…

Hi there, thanks to this thread I have been mostly able to move our application to Docker! However, I am still facing some issues with the CameraSuite License. I am running Ubuntu 18.04 on the host and my Dockerfile looks like this: FROM ubuntu:18.04 RUN apt-get update -y \ && apt-get install -…

Hi and welcom @mpouls , that file looks pretty good to me. :heart: This is more of a hunch as we have seen problems with the Codemeter API in the way we use it. Thus if Codemeter is installed and the daemon is not running it sometimes results busy hangs. So one thing you can try if you are only us…

Thanks a lot for taking the time and having a look at my problem! I already suspected that there might be an issue with Codemeter within the Docker container and therefore already tried to start /usr/sbin/CodeMeterLin manually within the container. Unfortunately neither that nor running the codemet…
