Fake scope mode

Fake scope mode is a good way to test SmartScope without a miscope. It will pull random images from the different magnifications out of an image bank.

Setting up the image bank

smarscope.sh run download_testfiles
  1. Download the bank

    wget docs.smartscope.org/downloads/smartscope_testfiles.tar.gz
    tar -xvf smartscope_testfiles.tar
    
  2. Add an extra volume in smartscope.yml to add the archive to the smartscope container.

    In the container, it is mounted to /mnt/testfiles

    version: "3"
    services:
    smartscope:
        ...
        volumes: 
            ...
            - /path/to/smartscope_testfiles/:/mnt/testfiles/
    

  3. Restart smartscope

    ./smartscope.sh stop
    ./smartscope.sh
