Workstations

Workstations are used to view, annotate and upload images to grand challenge. A workstation admin is able to upload a WorkstationImage, which is a docker container image. A WorkstationImage expose a http and, optionally, a websocket port. A workstation user can then launch a workstation Session for a particular WorkstationImage.

When a new session is started, a new container instance of the selected WorkstationImage is lauched on the docker host. The connection to the container will be proxied, and only accessible to the user that created the session. The proxy will map the http and websocket connections from the user to the running instance, which is mapped by the container hostname. The container instance will have the users API token set in the environment, so that it is able to interact with the grand challenge API as this user. The user is able to stop the container, otherwise it will be terminated after maxmium_duration is reached.
