Run Script Reference

The run.sh script passes common options to the underlying docker run command.

Use the --help option to see how to use the script. All arguments are optional.

docker/run.sh --help

usage: run.sh
  [--image image]
  [--framework ffmpeg || gstreamer]
  [--models path to models directory]
  [--pipelines path to pipelines directory]
  [-v additional volume mount to pass to docker run]
  [-e additional environment to pass to docker run]
  [--entrypoint-args additional parameters to pass to entrypoint in docker run]
  [-p additional ports to pass to docker run]
  [--network name network to pass to docker run]
  [--user name of user to pass to docker run]
  [--group-add name of user group to pass to docker run]
  [--name container name to pass to docker run]
  [--device device to pass to docker run]
  [--enable-rtsp To enable rtsp re-streaming]
  [--rtsp-port Specify the port to use for rtsp re-streaming]
  [--dev run in developer mode]

In the following description, $source_dir refers to the root project folder and $framework is the selected framework.

Container modes

The container runs in one of two modes, service (default) or developer. Service mode configures the environment as follows:

  • pipeline and model folder paths are volume mounted if specified
  • container has access to the host's GPU (/dev/dri)
  • port 8080 is used for service communication

Developer mode is covered in a later section.

Image (--image)

The image name. If not specified the default image name is:

  • dlstreamer-pipeline-server-gstreamer, for the gstreamer framework
  • dlstreamer-pipeline-server-ffmpeg, for the ffmpeg framework

Framework (--framework)

This argument is used as follows:

  • to select a default image tag if one is not specified
  • to select a default pipelines folder if one is not specified

In service mode this argument does not select the framework used at runtime, that is fixed in the image.

The default value is gstreamer.

Model Directory (--models)

Path to models folder. Treated similar to --pipelines but in developer mode default path is $source_dir/models.

Pipeline Directory (--pipelines)

Path to pipelines folder. Default values depend on mode:

  • for service mode default value is path to pipelines included in the image. If a value is specified it is assumed to be a path on the host which is automatically volume mounted.
  • for developer mode default value is path to pipelines in the local source code ($source_dir/$framework/pipelines). If a different path is specified, the location must be volume mounted using the '-v' option.

Enable RTSP re-streaming (--enable-rtsp)

This argument enables rtsp restreaming by setting ENABLE_RTSP environment variable and forwards default port 8554 or port specified with argument --rtsp-port.

RTSP Port (--rtsp-port)

This argument specifies the port to use for rtsp re-streaming.

Developer Mode (--dev)

This argument runs the image in developer mode which configures the environment as follows:

  • Starts the container with an interactive bash shell.
  • Volume mounts the local source code, models and pipelines directories. Any changes made to the local files on the host are immediately reflected in the running container.
  • Volume mounts /tmp and /dev paths from the host.
  • Uses the docker option --network=host. All ports and network interfaces for the host are shared with the container.
  • Uses the docker option --privileged. Operates the container with elevated privileges.

Docker run pass-through options

The following parameters simply map to docker run arguments:

  [-v additional volume mount]
  [-e additional environment variables]
  [-p additional ports]
  [--network additional network]
  [--user to pass to docker run]
  [--group-add to pass to docker run]
  [--name to pass to docker run]
  [--device to pass to docker run]
