Helping to enable the Google Cloud Platform plugin on Raspberry PI

Hi everyone,

Currently, we are planning to implement Orthanc on Raspberry PI to store and upload the DICOM image to Google Cloud Platform.

On my Windows laptop, I have installed Orthanc and Google Cloud Platform plugin (already enabled Google Cloud Healthcare API) and then I can upload and download DICOM images.

However, when implementing Orthanc on Rasberry PI. I used:

sudo apt-get install orthanc
sudo apt-get install -y orthanc-dicomweb

to install orthanc and dicomweb plugin. But I can’t find and install the Google Cloud Platform plugin.
I have followed the guideline in link:https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/google-cloud-platform.html, but did not work for my case. Becasue I found that the neccessary plugins in order to run orthanc are located at:

“/usr/share/orthanc/plugins” and also “/usr/lib/orthanc”.

Could you please help me how to install the Google Cloud Platform plugin in the above locations? Or where can I find a docker image of orthanc for Raspberry PI with all-ready plugins.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

We don’t provide Debian/Ubuntu packages for Google Cloud Platform on Raspberry/Raspbian.

If this is an issue for you, get in touch with your Google local sales representative so that her company works on such a packaging.

In the meantime, you’ll have to compile the plugin from sources:

Hi Sébastien,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes this really my issue. I have tried to follow the guideline at the mentioned link many times but didn’t get result on Raspberry Pi. Because in order to run the plugins with orthanc, all the shared libraries have to locate at /usr/share/…, instead of the location as in the guideline.

Simply copy the compiled shared library where expected by the Orthanc package:

sudo cp ./libOrthancGoogleCloudPlatform.so.1.0 /usr/share/orthanc/plugins

Then restart the Orthanc service:

sudo systemctl restart orthanc.service

Sorry:

sudo cp ./libOrthancGoogleCloudPlatform.so /usr/share/orthanc/plugins

Dear Sébastien,

I appreciate you so much for your quickly replying. Now I finished the Google Cloud Platform plugin on my Raspberry Pi. The plugin appears on the menu already (the attached pictures)

Now I got another issue with the dicom-web plugin. I already installed the dicom-web plugin, but seem failed to open the web client site at: localhost:8042/dicom-web/. Please see the attached screenshots.

Could you please help me with this?

Thanks in advance,
Thien Le

Please check out the documentation of the Google Cloud plugin:

“The GCP plugin requires Orthanc (with version above 1.5.4), and the official DICOMweb plugin to be installed (with version above 1.0).”
https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/google-cloud-platform.html#dependencies

Your screenshots indicate that you are running DICOMweb plugin 0.6. You’ll probably have to recompile it from source.
