Nanome - Vault

A Nanome plugin that creates a web interface to upload files and make them available in Nanome

Nanome Vault will start a web server. Other people can upload molecules or other files to it, and they will appear in Nanome. This works for both Nanome & Nanome Curie (Quest edition).

Nanome Vault currently supports:

• Molecules: .pdb, .cif, .sdf
• Presentations: .pptx, .ppt, .odp
• Documents: .pdf
• Images: .png .jpg

Installation

$ pip install nanome-vault

In order to load non-molecular files with Nanome Vault, the following applications/packages should be installed on the computer running the plugin:

• ImageMagick
• LibreOffice
• Ghostscript

For Windows especially, make sure that these applications are in the PATH environment variable (the folder containing simpress.exe should be in PATH for LibreOffice)

On Ubuntu, a security policy might prevent ImageMagick from converting PDF to images. It can be removed by running:

$ sudo mv /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xmlout

See this answer on AskUbuntu for more information: https://askubuntu.com/a/1081907

Usage

To start the plugin:

$ nanome-vault -a <plugin_server_address>

On Linux, you might have to start using sudo nanome-vault to listen on port 80.

Optional arguments:

• -w port

  The port to use for the Web UI. Example: -w 8080

• -k days

  Automatically delete files that haven't been accessed in a given number of days. Example: to delete untouched files after 2 weeks: -k 14

In Nanome:

• Activate Plugin
• Click Run
• Open your web browser, go to "127.0.0.1" (or your computer's IP address from another computer), and add supported files. Your files will appear in Nanome.
