Welcome to the Vitrivr NG, the user interface component in the vitrivr stack. The NG stands for 'Angular' or 'Next generation'.

Vitrivr NG is a web-based user interface developed to be used with the latest version if Cineast. It allows the user to browse in and retrieve from mixed multimedia collections.

Getting started

For development, you will require NodeJS and the npm package manager. The Vitrivr NG project was created with Angular CLI so you need to install that as well. Once npm is available on your machine, you can install Angular CLI globally using the following command in your console:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Then, install the dependencies using

npm install

That's it. Now you should be ready to run Vitrivr NG!

Running Locally

You can simply start a server on your command line using ng serve

Deploying

We provide a deploy-script. For instance, to deploy to your local apache instance, use ./deploy.sh /var/www/html.

Configure

The configuration of Vitrivr NG can be made through the src/config.json file. Most importantly, you have to adjust the api.host and api.port settings so that they point to a running instance of Cineast. Furthermore, you have to adjust the URLs under resources.host_thumbnails and resources.host_object. All references to thumbnails and media files will be resolved relative to those locations.
