Launching via docker: Non-functional about brayns HOT 6 CLOSED

Hello Michael,

the brayns-ui docker image is an abandoned user interface for an old version of Brayns (<= 1.1.0).
Since 2.0.0 on wards, brayns-ui is not compatible anymore. The only existing user interface for Brayns nowadays is Brayns Circuit Studio, (https://dev.braynscircuitstudio.kcp.bbp.epfl.ch/). You need to be on EPFL VPN to access it.

Well, the description of the bluebrain/brayns image on docker still states:

Use it together with its web UI (https://hub.docker.com/r/bluebrain/brayns-ui) in your favourite web browser: http://localhost:8080/?host=localhost:8200

I suggest that be updated...

Ok, so I launched the docker image of Brayns on my computer.
Then navigated to https://dev.braynscircuitstudio.kcp.bbp.epfl.ch

How do I connect that UI to my Brayns instance? I tried entering the IP address:port under "connect to existing backend". But the button remains greyed out..?

Also, the "allocate a node on BB5" is non-functional.
So, https://dev.braynscircuitstudio.kcp.bbp.epfl.ch is also not working.

The maintainer of that image left long ago, but I will try to have it updated (if not removed to avoid any future issue).

You cannot use a standalone Brayns with Brayns Circuit Studio, since it needs other software components. The purpose of running a standalone Brayns is to use the python API to communicate with it (If you are interested on this aspect, you can find the python API documentation on this repository README)

Also, the "allocate a node on BB5" is non-functional.
So, https://dev.braynscircuitstudio.kcp.bbp.epfl.ch/ is also not working.

I was able to launch Brayns through Brayns Circuit Studio using the Allocate a node on BB5 button. You must be on VPN, and your browser must have BBP security certificates installed in order to access the resources (You can find a link on how to install the certificates on the front page of Brayns Circuit Studio).

Closing this issue as it doesn't seems to be anything to fix.

Let us know if we can do anything to help.
