For any other custom pipeline, with various dependencies and challenging behaviour, it might be necessary to use Docker containers instead. Deployment through a custom Docker image over the existing Gradio image was necessary in this case due to `tensorflow` and `gradio` having colliding versions. As `livermask` depends on `tf`, the only way to get around it was fixing the broken dependency, which was handled by reinstalling and changing the `typing_extensions` with a version that `gradio` required for the widgets we used. Luckily, this did not break anything in `tf`, even though `tf` has a very strict versioning criteria for this dependency. Anyways, everything works as intended now. For every new push to the main branch, continuous deployment to the Hugging Face `livermask` space is performed through GitHub Actions. When the space is updated, the Docker image is rebuilt/updated (caching if possible). Then when finished, the end users can test the app as they please. Right now, the functionality of the app is extremely limited, only offering a widget for uploading a NIfTI file (`.nii` or `.nii.gz`) and visualizing the produced surface of the predicted liver parenchyma 3D volume when finished processing. Analysis process can be monitored from the `Logs` tab next to the `Running` button in the Hugging Face `livermask` space. It is also possible to build the app as a docker image and deploy it. To do so follow these steps: ``` docker build -t livermask .. docker run -it -p 7860:7860 livermask ``` Then open `http://127.0.0.1:7860` in your favourite internet browser to view the demo. TODOs: - [X] Add gallery widget to enable scrolling through 2D slices - [X] Render segmentation for individual 2D slices as overlays
