Overview

Connect your remote data storage to Supervisely Platform without data duplication.

NOTE #1: most frequest usecase is when Enterprise Customer would like to connect huge existing data storage (tens of terabytes) and avoid data duplication. In other cases we recommend to use general import procedure to store data in Supervisely Data Storage.

NOTE #2: this release works only with data structured in Supervisely format. In future versions raw images, videos, and other formats will be added.

Preparation

0. Be sure that docker is installed on the server.
1. Go to your server and cd to directory with the data you want to connect. For example: cd work/data. We recommend to avoid using special characters in paths (spaces, etc…).
2. Run NGINX to to serve static files (images and annotation) by executing the following command:

docker run -p 8088:80 -v $(pwd):/mnt/data jetbrainsinfra/nginx-file-listing:0.2

3. ⚠️ By default your new nginx web server is available for outside world. If needed, change nginx.conf to disallow it.

Now you can check that data is accesible in browser:
