Data Privacy

Although data uploaded for analysis on the online instance of NASQAR (at http://nasqar.abudhabi.nyu.edu/) is by default discarded after a users session ends, this does not guarantee total data privacy. In cases where data privacy is a concern (e.g. patient or pilot data), it is recommended that NASQAR is deployed on a local intranet for private users, or on a personal computer. A Docker image of NASQAR is publicly available through DockerHub and can be used to deploy the application seamlessly on any system with Docker installed, whether a local computer, a public internet server, or a private server (e.g. research institutions intranet).

Run NASQAR on local computer/server (Docker)

Prerequisite: Docker (version >= 17.03.0-ce)

To run NASQAR locally on port 80, use the following docker command:

To run NASQAR locally on a different port (e.g. port 8083), use:

Access via web-browser on http://localhost/ or http://localhost:8083/ depending on port number used.
