⚠️ DO NOT USE THIS EXTENSION. It is not secure and could allow unauthorized access to private resources. Use ckanext-vtkjs instead.

CKAN extension using ParaViewWeb Visualizer to provide views for STL and VTK files. Designed to be used jointly with a ParaViewWeb server running in a container. It embeds the Visualizer in a CKAN resource’s webpage using an HTML iframe (assumes server at 172.17.0.3). The extension creates hard links to displayable files with correct file extensions. Both CKAN and ParaViewWeb must have access to uploaded files (via shared Docker volume).
