Visual Layer Documentation: Visual Intelligence, At Scale

Prerequisites

Docker installed on your system
Docker login credentials for Visual Layer repository

Step 1: Docker Authentication

First, authenticategut with DockerHub using the provided credentials:

docker login

When prompted, use:

Username: visuallayer
Password: Contact support@visual-layer.com and we will share the password

Step 2: Required Docker Images

The Visual Layer system consists of the following Docker images that need to be pulled from DockerHub:

Docker Image	Description
`visuallayer/onprem-fe`	Frontend web application interface
`visuallayer/onprem-installer`	Installation and setup utilities
`visuallayer/onprem-healthcheck`	System health monitoring service
`visuallayer/onprem-pl-cpu`	CPU-based processing pipeline
`visuallayer/onprem-pl-gpu`	GPU-accelerated processing pipeline
`visuallayer/onprem-pg`	PostgreSQL database server
`visuallayer/onprem-be`	Backend API services
`visuallayer/onprem-cd`	Continuous deployment service
`visuallayer/onprem-model-pack`	Pre-trained models and model management

Pull all required images (replace <VERSION> with the specific version provided by Visual Layer support):

# Pull all required images
docker pull visuallayer/onprem-fe:<VERSION>
docker pull visuallayer/onprem-installer:<VERSION>
docker pull visuallayer/onprem-healthcheck:<VERSION>
docker pull visuallayer/onprem-pl-cpu:<VERSION>
docker pull visuallayer/onprem-pl-gpu:<VERSION>
docker pull visuallayer/onprem-pg:<VERSION>
docker pull visuallayer/onprem-be:<VERSION>
docker pull visuallayer/onprem-cd:<VERSION>
docker pull visuallayer/onprem-model-pack:<VERSION>

Step 3: Get Installation Script

First, obtain the install_helper.sh script. You can either download it using curl or request it from Visual Layer support:

# Download the installation script
curl -fsSL https://vl-public-bucket.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/installer/new/install_helper.sh -o install_helper.sh

Alternatively, contact support@visual-layer.com to get the script.

Step 4: Run Installation

Replace <VERSION> with the specific version provided by Visual Layer support.

For GPU-enabled Systems:

HARDWARE=gpu VL_VERSION="<VERSION>" bash install_helper.sh

For CPU-only Systems:

HARDWARE=cpu VL_VERSION="<VERSION>" bash install_helper.sh

Step 5: Verification

After installation, verify that all containers are running properly:

docker ps

You should see all the Visual Layer containers running.

Troubleshooting

If containers fail to start, check the logs: docker logs <container_name>
Ensure you have sufficient disk space for all images
Verify network connectivity to DockerHub
Make sure Docker daemon is running
