0. Prerequisite
To install openIMIS using Docker, you first need first to install Docker on your computer/server. Please visit https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/ website to download and install the version that matches your OS.
1. Download openIMIS Docker script
Clone the https://github.com/openimis/openimis-dist_dkr on your machine into a new folder.
2. First startup
Create the
.envfile from the.env.exampleand configure the environment variables according to the comments in the file. By default, PostgreSQL database is used.On the same level as
openimis-dist_dkrdirectory, there should be aconfdirectory that is used for storing instance-specific configuration that will be reused if the docker containers are restartedIf you use the demo docker 'db' service:
The default database is the demo instance. To set-up an empty instance, please setup the database manually from the script attached to https://github.com/openimis/database_ms_sqlserver/releases sql-files.zip in the asset section
Accept the Microsoft EULA for the MSSQL database container (set the value of
ACCEPT_EULAtoY)Build and start the docker compose:
docker-compose up -dIf you prefer to use Microsoft SQL Server database:
docker-compose -f docker-compose-mssql.yml up -d
Updating the certificates of the frontend is required for production usage
openimis-gateway_dkr/certs/.
Using the docker database is not advised for production.
This docker-compose doesn’t use REDIS and Celery. If multi-backend is required, please check the docker-compose in the
openimis-dist_dkrdirectory or create a ticket.To add a new backend user, you must edit the
/conf/.htpasswdin the gateway container (scripts will be written later).
stop/start
From within openimis-dist_dkr/windows directory:
To stop all docker containers:
docker-compose stopTo (re-)start all docker containers:
docker-compose start
