Easy to use web database for brain statistical maps, atlases and parcellation maps.

1. Fork the main repository (https://github.com/NeuroVault/NeuroVault)
2. Clone your fork to your computer: git clone https://github.com/<your_username>/NeuroVault
3. Install docker >= 20
4. Install docker-compose >= 1.29
5. Make sure your docker daemon is running and environment variables are configured (cp .env.example .env)

docker-compose up -d

The webpage will be available at 127.0.0.1. Initially, some data will be available by default with username/password neurovault/neurovault and neurovault2/neurovault2.

docker-compose exec django python manage.py migrate

The first time you run the application, you must migrate the db. You must also do this if you update any database models.

docker-compose stop

After making changes to the code you need to restart the server (but just the uwsgi and celery components):

docker-compose restart nginx django worker

If you would like to reset the server and clean the database:

docker-compose stop
docker-compose rm
docker-compose up

docker-compose run --rm django python manage.py shell

docker-compose run --rm django python manage.py test

If you add a dependency (e.g., a new pip install) or modify the Dockerfile in any way, you will need to rebuild the docker image:

docker-compose build django

To use pycortex you will need a different image (that includes FreeSurfer). Just change "neurovault/neurovault" with "neurovault/neurovault_fs" in docker-compose.yml. This image is significantly bigger and will take longer to download.

You can also build it locally

docker build -t neurovault/neurovault_fs -f fs_docker/Dockerfile .

Pay special close attention that the command above ends with a . to indicate the present working directory, the base of the code repository.
