kitware/paraview repository overview

⁠Introduction

This repository contains images useful for running/deploying ParaView and ParaViewWeb. The Dockerfiles are hosted on the ParaView Superbuild repository⁠. Additional information on how to use the ParaViewWeb image can be found on the ParaViewWeb web site⁠.

⁠Images

The naming convention {type}-{version}-{rendering}-{python}

• Type [pv, pvw]: Either a plain ParaView build (pv) or a ParaViewWeb (pvw) with all the web add-on infrastructure that include an Apache server along with a launcher.
• Version [v5.7.1, ...]: This match the ParaView tag that was used to build the image from.
• Rendering [egl, osmesa]: This represent which rendering backend was used to build ParaView against. Typically, if you want to run ParaView on a machine that does not have any Nvidia GPU, you will have to use the OSMesa version. While if you have a NVidia GPU, you can use the EGL backend as long as you allow docker to access your GPU with the proper set of drivers and configuration arguments.
• Python [py2, py3]: This represent the version of Python (2.7 or 3.x) used for ParaView. Soon enough, this option will disappear once ParaView only builds with Python 3.
