This is a sample setup to demonstrate how to download and apply a new Orthanc configuration dynamically thanks to a lua script.
This demo contains:
- an Orthanc container with a lua script.
- a sample webservice providing a new configuration to Orthanc every minute.
The Lua scripts checks for a new configuration at startup and, then, on the Lua Heart Beat callback. If the webservice provides a new configuration, the lua scripts saves it to disk and tells Orthanc to restart using the new configuration.
Note that we've split the Orthanc configuration between a fixed configuration that is not updated
and a dynamic configuration that is provided by the webservice.
To start the setup, type: docker-compose up --build.
- check in the logs that the config is checked every 30 seconds and updated every 60 seconds
- Open the Orthanc UI and check that the Orthanc Name changes every minute
- stop the webservice container and check that Orthanc continues to run even when the webservice is down:
docker-compose stop config-webservice
