Insight UI

A simple yet complete web interface for Aleph built on Python 3 and Flask

Requisites

• Backend: The Insight UI needs only read access to the Elasticsearch index.
• Python 3: Insight UI is tested with python version 3.6.8 and is known to work with 3.5.x.
  • Python 2 is untested and not supported.

Note: If you want Insight to be able to submit samples into the pipeline, you must configure the RabbitMQ backend with an user with sufficient permissions to reach the 'aleph.task.process' task (usually on the 'manager' queue/exchange).
