Outdated docker image on Docker Hub

[vsisl]

I encountered an issue with the h5serv docker image available on Docker Hub.

With this docker image, I was able to access data in h5 files through direct HTTP requests:

domain = 'my_file_in_root.hdfgroup.org' headers = {'host': domain} endpoint = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000'

# get root uuid req = endpoint + '/' rsp = requests.get(req, headers=headers) domain_json = rsp.json() root_uuid = domain_json['root']

However, I was not able to access the data using h5pyd. In fact, I was encountering the same problem as described in issue 60.

Interestingly, the following command

f = h5pyd.File('my_file_in_root.hdfgroup.org', 'r', endpoint='http://127.0.0.1:5000') f_uuid = f.id.uuid

would return a different f_uuid than root_uuid from a direct HTTP request as above.

Eventually, I realized that the image on Docker Hub is 2 years old, and thus probably outdated. I proceeded with manual installation of h5serv as described here. And then created a new docker image manually using the local installation of h5serv. With this new docker image, everything seems to work properly.
