Insatalling iipserver with OpenJPEG2000 on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Server using apt-get

[Giacomo]

Hello Ruven,
thanks a lot for this wonderful tool!

I was trying to install it using Ubuntu repository on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Server (with Apache2 and Nginx as proxy server) :

sudo apt install libopenjp2-tools
sudo apt-get install  iipimage-server

I am able to see pyramidal tiff but not .jp2 files exported using Openjpeg2000 (they looks okay when analyzed using jpylyzer). I am reciving from server:

/var/..../test.jp2 is neither a file nor part of an image sequence

From the documentation it seems that jp2 should be supported when installing if from ubuntu respository https://iipimage.sourceforge.io/documentation/server/. I have spent a couple of days trying to fix it but I am not able to understand where is the problem. Should I compile the source code for jpeg2000 support or is suppose to work also when I install it from Ubuntu respository?

Best regards,
Giacomo

My fault it seems that Ubuntu 18.04 has in its repository only version 1.0 while jpg2000 is supported from version 1.1.

Yes, you need to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 to get iipsrv version 1.1 or you can just compile it yourself on 18.04 for now until you upgrade.

Thanks a lot Ruven, I compiled using the latest github repository and it works perfectly. Have a nice christmas and thanks for this wonderful tool, in this period lock-down has been proved essential.

Glad it now works properly! A very Merry Christmas to you too!
