Container

Using NiftyOne via a container (e.g. Docker, Singularity), is similar to using NiftyOne locally. There are a few additional flags required.

NiftyOne uses a hidden .fiftyone directory stored in the home directory (e.g. /home/user/.fiftyone) This directory needs to be writable and mounted with the appropriate container flag.

Docker

First download the container, replacing <TAG> in the following command with the version to be pulled:

docker pull ghcr.io/childmindresearch/niftyone:<TAG>

To use NiftyOne with Docker, the host network also needs to be made available to be able to pass the launched application. Rather than executing each workflow with individual Docker commands, it is recommended to shell into the container and call each command:

docker run -it \
  -v "/home/user/.fiftyone:/.fiftyone:rw" \
  --network host \
  childmindresearch/niftyone:<TAG>

Once you are shelled into the container, you can follow the same instructions as if you are running NiftyOne locally.
