Quick Start with Docker / 使用Docker快速搭建 🐳​

docker run -d --name cityflow_platform -p 3000:3000 -v //var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v ${PWD}/temp:/cityflow_platform/cityflow_executor/code ghcr.io/kekehurry/cityflow_platform:latest

Cityflow plaform relies on cityflow_runner to execute python and react modules. The docker container will automatically pull the latest cityflow_runner image. You can also pull it manually before the init process:

Cityflow 平台依赖cityflow_runner来执行Python和React模块。Docker容器将自动拉取最新的cityflow_runner镜像。您也可以在初始化过程之前手动拉取

docker pull ghcr.io/kekehurry/cityflow_runner:latest

Acknowledgement

CityFlow was first conceptualized and developed during my visiting period at MIT. I sincerely thank MIT City Science for their support and inspiration during my work on the CityFlow Platform. I’m also deeply grateful to my supervisor at SCUT Design Future Lab for their guidance and encouragement throughout this journey.

CityFlow 最初是在我访问MIT访问期间构思和开发的。衷心感谢 MIT City Science在我开发CityFlow平台期间的支持和启发。也深深感谢我的导师团队华南理工大学 Design Future Lab在整个过程中的指导和鼓励。
