ewoksweb 4.0

ewoksweb is a full-stack web application for creating, visualizing, and executing ewoks workflows. Powered by a REST server (ewoksserver), it offers a dynamic and user-friendly way to design workflows and export them as JSON files.

ewoksweb has been developed by the Software group of the European Synchrotron.

Getting started

pip install ewoksweb

Start the app (frontend and server) via

ewoksweb

The web app will be available at localhost:8000.

Note

ewoksweb takes the port 8000 by default. If there are other applications running on this port (e.g. iTunes radio on Mac), another port can be chosen

ewoksweb --port 6660

Also by default, ewoksweb will save ewoks resources (workflows, tasks, icons) in the current folder. This can be changed through the --dir command line argument

ewoksweb --dir /path/to/ewoksserver/resources
