Exadel CompreFace is a facial recognition software developed by Exadel. With CompreFace, you can build your own facial recognition system and integrate it into your business or personal project. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Exadel CompreFace on POP! OS.
Before we begin, you will need to have the following:
Exadel CompreFace runs on Docker containers, so we need to install Docker on our system. To install Docker, enter the following commands in the terminal:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y docker.io
Wait for the installation to complete.
Docker Compose is a tool that allows us to define and run multi-container Docker applications. We need to install Docker Compose to run Exadel CompreFace. To install Docker Compose, run the following commands:
$ sudo apt install -y curl
$ sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Next, we need to clone the CompreFace repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/exadel-inc/CompreFace.git
This will clone the CompreFace repository to your current directory.
We need to configure CompreFace before running it. In the CompreFace directory, create a .env file by running the following command:
$ cd CompreFace
$ cp .env.example .env
Then, edit the .env file to configure CompreFace. You can do this by running the following command:
$ nano .env
In the file, set the HOST variable to your computer's IP address:
HOST=your_ip_address
If you don't know your computer's IP address, you can find it by running the following command:
$ ifconfig | grep inet
Then, set the PUBLIC_URL variable to the URL where you plan to access CompreFace:
PUBLIC_URL=http://your_domain:port
Make sure to replace your_domain and port with your actual domain and port.
You can also set other variables, such as the database credentials and the CompreFace version. See the .env.example file for more information.
To run CompreFace, run the following command:
$ docker-compose up -d
This will start all the containers needed for CompreFace. Wait for the command to complete.
You can now access CompreFace by opening your web browser and navigating to the URL you set in the PUBLIC_URL variable in Step 4.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Exadel CompreFace on POP! OS. You can now start building your own facial recognition system with CompreFace.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
