Option 2: Uploading the container image¶

Another way to get your Algorithm running on Grand Challenge is to export the container image to a compressed file, and upload it directly to Grand Challenge. To create the container image, run docker save IMAGE | gzip -c > IMAGE.tar.gz and wait for a few minutes until the image gets created and zipped into a single file. Alternatively, run ./do_save.sh if your algorithm template comes with it.

On your Algorithm page, you can upload the .tar.gz file by clicking Containers ⟶ Upload a Container.

To try out your own algorithm, you will have to wait until your algorithm container image is uploaded and Active.

You can check the status of your container by clicking on Containers. Normally, it takes about 20 minutes for your new container to be validated by grand-challenge.org and to become active. If your new container is not active after an hour, please reach out to us.

You do not have to create a new algorithm page for every update to your algorithm. Instead, upload a new container.

You can upload a new container by going to Containers ⟶ Upload a Container. Once validated this will become the new active container. You can choose which from the list of previously uploaded containers should be active.
