How to run the pipeline auto-detect new file upload, handle it, and push it back to the server

To begin with, you need to launch the Orthanc server on Docker and use Python plugin for Orthanc.

docker run -p 4242:4242 -p 8042:8042 --rm ^
  -v "path\to\orthanc.json:/etc/orthanc/orthanc.json:ro" ^
  -v "path\to\python_dicom:/app" ^
  -v "path\to\hello.py:/etc/orthanc/hello.py:ro" ^
  jodogne/orthanc-python

-p 4242:4242 -p 8042:8042 maps ports from the host system to the container.

-v "path\to\orthanc.json:/etc/orthanc/orthanc.json:ro"

mounts the orthanc.json file from your local system to the container.

orthanc.json that contains the following minimal configuration for Orthanc:

{
  "StorageDirectory" : "/var/lib/orthanc/db",
  "RemoteAccessAllowed" : true,
  "Plugins" : [
    "/usr/local/share/orthanc/plugins"
  ],
  "PythonScript" : "/etc/orthanc/hello.py"
}

-v "path\to\python_dicom:/app"

mounts the entire python_dicom directory to the /app directory inside the container.

-v "path\to\hello.py:/etc/orthanc/hello.py:ro"

mounts the hello.py file to the /etc/orthanc/hello.py path in the container

Now when you run the command successfully, the hello.py file will run on container Orthanc-Python and interact with the current project file (remote interaction because of using mount) making event listening and handling new files uploaded to the Orthanc server

Next, run the pipeline.py file to listen to new file uploads and handle them.

To test the functionality, you can run the file upload_dicom.py to upload some DICOM file to the server.

(Note that you must run the above 2 files in 2 separate processes)
