I’ve installed the Docker-Desktop version of WebODM on my Mac Mini with 64gb of ram. The new Docker-Desktop install was smooth - I appreciate the work someone put into this setup.
I’ve discovered some limitations with the Docker-Desktop WebODM setup.
First - I can’t find a way to allocate a swap file for the WebODM virtual machine. This has caused a 900 image job to fail due to lack of memory - even with 56gb allocated to Docker-Desktop.
Second - There are a few WebODM parameters that don’t appear - which limits tailoring the job.
I don’t know if these are addressable issues. If not - I’ll use this install for smaller jobs only.
Thanks!
