Re: Introducing myself - conquest



Is there a way to run Orthanc withOUT it listening as a web server ?
(IOW as a pure DICOM server)

This is the first time this feature is requested. I have just added a
card in our roadmap to keep track of it [1]. This is a minor development
that I plan to ship in the next release of Orthanc.

In the meantime, disabling the embedded Web server is quite
straightforward if you compile Orthanc 0.7.2 from sources. You just have
to comment out line 412 in the file "OrthancServer/main.cpp" [2].

If you do not want to modify the source code, you could also block the
HTTP port (by default, 8042) using your iptables rules.

As a complement of information, pay attention to the fact that disabling the embedded Web server will also disable the REST API of Orthanc which, in turn, will prevent the "ImportDicomFiles.py" script (that was previously mentioned [3]) to run. However, commands like "storescu" from the DCMTK distribution would run fine.
