Native Install on Ubuntu

Jose_Roman_Bilbao_Ca · 7 September 2018 08:20

Hi,

I am trying to install WebODM natively under Ubuntu 16.04 using the community provided script:

OpenDroneMap/WebODM/blob/master/contrib/ubuntu_1604_install.sh

# Configure system libs
sudo apt-get autoremove -y install-info 
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-dev libpq-dev gdal-bin libgdal-dev libproj-dev python-virtualenv python3-dev git binutils libproj-dev

# Setup Postgres
ppaexists=$( grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | grep postgres )
if [ ! $ppaexists ]; then
	echo "Add PostgreSQL PPA..."
	sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ xenial-pgdg main"
	sudo wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
	sudo apt-get update
else
	echo "PostgreSQL PPA already exists..."
fi

sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-9.6
sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-9.6-postgis-2.3
sudo apt-get install -y python-psycopg2

I have two questions:

a) At the end of the script it configures docker… so is it not really native? I plan to use this on a virtual machine and don’t want performance to be much degraded.

b) When the script finishes, is there any other step I must complete in order to be able to connect and start working? What URL should I use to connect to the newly configured machine?

Thanks in advance,
Jose

The community script is installing WebODM natively, but I think it assumes that node-OpenDroneMap and OpenDroneMap are installed using docker. You can follow the instructions on GitHub - OpenDroneMap/ODM: A command line toolkit to generate maps, point clouds, 3D models and DEMs from drone, balloon or kite images. 📷 and GitHub - OpenDroneMap/NodeODM: A lightweight REST API to access aerial image processing engines such as ODM or MicMac to install those natively as well.

If you need a script that installs everything natively and you want to save some time, you could also consider supporting the project by purchasing https://www.opendronemap.org/webodm/server-installer/.

I’m pretty much a newbie and no ubuntu power user either… I was not aware of the script for installing but I first tried installing on a virtual server on digital ocean. Hit a snag when it could not find docker… and I didnt know how to set the path to docker. I created a new server with docker already installed… one of the one click installs. I then ran the webodm install… had to add pip manually… once installed I could access the it via the machines IP:8000

Hi,

I’m a complete noob and busy with the native install of WebODM on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. I’ve installed PGAdmin III, but now I don’t know how to create a new database (name it webodm_dev ), connect to it and set the postgis.enable_outdb_rasters and postgis.gdal_enabled_drivers settings:
ALTER SYSTEM SET postgis.enable_outdb_rasters TO True;
ALTER SYSTEM SET postgis.gdal_enabled_drivers TO ‘GTiff’;

I would really appreciate any help.
