Robotoff is splitted in 3 services:

• the scheduler, responsible for launching recurrent tasks (downloading new dataset, processing insights automatically,...)
• the workers, responsible for all long-lasting tasks (mainly insight extraction from images)
• the public api service

Two additional services are used:

• a PostgreSQL database (postgres service)
• a Elasticsearch single node (elasticsearch service)

All services are managed by docker. docker-compose is used to manage these services.

To display all running services, run docker ps:

To display all containers (even stopped ones), add the --all flag.

To stop the scheduler service, run docker stop robotoff_scheduler_1. To start it again, docker start robotoff_scheduler_1.

To display the logs of the container, docker logs robotoff_scheduler_1. Two options are often used: -f to follow output and --tail n to only display last n lines.
