How to install ORTHANC with OHIF viewer on docker

ORTHANC
1

In this video I’m going to show how to install Orhanc on an Ubuntu Linux environment with docker engine. This installation includes OHIF.

The instructions which are followed in this video are here

But we are actually using a sample compose file from here:

or more precisely the one with ohif included here:

How to install

First clone the files from git to your ubuntu machine

 git clone https://github.com/orthanc-server/orthanc-setup-samples.git

Go to the folder

cd orthanc-setup-samples/docker/ohif/

Fix the URLs pointing to OHIF if you are not running the browser locally

nano docker-compose.yml

Run docker compose

sudo docker compose up --build

The above will take a moment since it’s pulling the images and it’s also building the ohif image as instructed by the docker-compose.yml

This sample package is actually starting two orthanc instances: one with the ohif plugin running ohif inside the orthanc docker container and another orthanc instance which is integrated with an external ohif docker container.

How to use

Note! Replace localhost with the ubuntu servers host name or IP you used in the docker-compose.yml and in the launch URL for Orthanc

have deployed OHIF from Orthanc setup sample with docker and portainer. All the container running successful and viewer open successful by upload dicom fron explorer 2.
Now unable to find Orthanc config json to edit patient count or size (to Store), add modality node options to send dicom images from remote modalities.

Welcome to the community. Good to hear you’re comfortable with Linux & Docker — that will definitely help when considering transitioning your imaging platform. Are you working as a suplier of the imaging platform for customers or using it for your own clinic?

a) The Docker Hub image: orthancteam/orthanc

  • This is a pre-built Docker container image maintained by the “Orthanc Team” (or commercial partner) for deployment.

b) The GitHub repositories (under orthanc-server)

  • These are the source code / build scripts / plugin code / sample configurations.

Welcome to the community. Unfortunately not sure how to help with the issue without more context.
