In cloud and large‑scale automated environments, RealityScan Linux can run fully inside a Docker container with GPU passthrough. When administrators enable a REST server, gRPC server, or both, they can remotely send commands to RealityScan, query processing status, and control workflows programmatically.
RealityScan also supports a passive notification mode, where you provide a notification address and receive asynchronous events (progress, completion, errors) without polling. This is useful when running existing pipelines—such as .rscmd command files—inside a container without an active server loop.
Both active (server) and passive (notifications) workflows can be combined depending on the environment.
RealityScan for Linux (Wine) 2.1 offers a command-line–focused build of RealityScan, designed for automated processing on Linux servers. This version is built on a bundled Wine environment and supports RealityScan’s CLI pipeline for alignment, reconstruction, texturing, and export.
The Linux (Wine) release is experimental. Editing or modifying files within the bundled Wine prefix is not recommended and should be done at your own risk, as it may cause the installation to break or lead to unstable behavior.
The desktop UI can be launched, but its use is not recommended due to graphical glitches, window focus issues, and unsupported HTML dialogs. The supported workflow is CLI-only, typically executed through the Remote Command Plugin via gRPC or REST or locally via CLI commands. Please see our Python samples too
