Web application for ecoacoustics to archive and manage soundscapes, host reference recordings, navigate spectrograms, annotate and review animal vocalisations or other sounds.

Developed by Noemi Perez and Kevin Darras. ecoSound-web was forked from BioSounds and is licensed under the GNU General Public License, v3.

The corresponding updatable scientific publication is in F1000Research.

A working instance of ecoSound-web can be accessed here with limited functionality within the open collections.

You may learn about the basic functionality in the user guide (see Wiki).

We use Docker to run the app in your computer. We provide install.sh and run.sh files with all necessary commands, and a Makefile with extra commands to access the docker containers.

You need to install docker and docker-compose directly in your machine. Please read the documentation and follow the instructions carefully. We don't offer support for docker installation and configuration.

Important: this setup is intended for developing and testing purposes ONLY. It is in no way ready for production. Please read the Server Installation section.

sh install.sh

sh run.sh

Open http://localhost:8080

Log in with username: admin, password: Administrator20

Important: please change the password of this administrator user or delete it once you have ecoSound-web running on production and have your own admin users.

docker-compose stop

docker container prune

If you want to use Docker for your own server installation, please consult with a devOps engineer or someone with the necessary knowledge to manage it properly, depending on your hosting setup.

The current Docker configuration Dockerfile can be used for your preferred setup.

Like any other web app, ecoSound-web can be installed without Docker (see Wiki).

For both cases (with and without Docker), you'll need to set the configuration values in the config.ini file, according to your server setup.
