GNU Health Docker Compose

This Docker Compose spins up the GNU Health Hospital Information System (HIS):

https://docs.gnuhealth.org/his

It contains a PostgreSQL container, an application container running GNU Health through uWSGI and a Nginx container as reverse proxy.

To set it up follow the following instructions:

• Install Docker

• Run docker compose up -d --build

• Install & run GNU Health client using Ansible or Vanilla installation

• Connect to localhost:8080, use 'health' for empty database and 'ghdemo44' for demo database. Username is 'admin' and password 'gnusolidario'.

• Run 'python3 test.py' for non interactive connection test

This is intended for developing and testing purposes - not for productive use!

Environment Variables

The Docker image can be run with a number of environment variables allowing to configure it. Please see env template file for an example. This section explains every variable with a default value (that is set automatically if you don't set another one manually).

GNUHEALTH_DB_HOST ("db"): Hostname for PostgreSQL instance.

GNUHEALTH_DB_PORT (5432): Port for PostgreSQL instance.

GNUHEALTH_DB_USERNAME ("gnuhealth"): Database user name for PostgreSQL instance.

GNUHEALTH_DB_PW ("gnusolidario"): Password of database user name.

GNUHEALTH_DB_NAME ("health"): Name of database to create, owned by user specified above.

GNUHEALTH_ADMIN_MAIL ("[email protected]"): Admin email for Tryton client - does not break the program if it's not a valid one.

GNUHEALTH_ADMIN_PW ("gnusolidario"): Admin password in Tryton client (or Proteus if scripted access).

GNUHEALTH_DEMO_DB (true): Boolean to specify if demo database should be installed as well.
