node-OpenDroneMap is a Node.js App and REST API to access OpenDroneMap

The quickest way is to use Docker.

• From the Docker Quickstart Terminal (Windows / OSX) or from the command line (Linux) type:

git clone https://github.com/pierotofy/node-OpenDroneMap
cd node-OpenDroneMap
docker build -t nodeodm:latest .
docker run -p 3000:3000 nodeodm:latest

• If you're on Windows/OSX, find the IP of your Docker machine by running this command from your Docker Quickstart Terminal:

docker-machine ip

Linux users can connect to 127.0.0.1.

• Open a Web Browser to http://<yourDockerMachineIp>:3000
• Load some images
• Press "Start Task"
• Go for a walk :)

If you are already running OpenDroneMap on Ubuntu natively, you can simply type:

sudo curl --silent --location https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
git clone https://github.com/pierotofy/node-OpenDroneMap
cd node-OpenDroneMap
npm install
node index.js

The app can also be run as a background process using the pm2 process manager, which can also assist you with system startup scripts and process monitoring.

To install pm2, run (using sudo if required):

npm install pm2 -g

The app can then be started using

pm2 start processes.json

To have pm2 started on OS startup run

pm2 save
pm2 startup

and then run the command as per the instructions that prints out. If that command errors then you may have to specify the system (note that systemd should be used on CentOS 7). Note that if the process is not running as root (recommended) you will need to change /etc/init.d/pm2-init.sh to set export PM2_HOME="/path/to/user/home/.pm2", as per these instructions

You can monitor the process using pm2 status.

You can find some test drone images from OpenDroneMap's Test Data Folder.
