OHDSI Broadsea 3.5

default profile perseus profile openldap profile solr-vocab Profile achilles Profile

Contents

Introduction

Broadsea runs the core OHDSI technology stack using cross-platform Docker container technology.

Information on Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI)

This repository contains the Docker Compose file used to launch the OHDSI Broadsea Docker containers:

Additionally, Broadsea offers limited support for services not specifically needed for OHDSI applications that often are useful:

  • OpenLDAP for testing security in Atlas
  • Open Shiny Server for deploying Shiny apps without a commercial license
  • Posit Connect for sites with commercial Posit licenses, for deploying Shiny apps
  • DBT for ETL design

A Note on Docker Compose V2

Throughout this README, we will show docker compose commands with the convention of docker compose (no hyphen), per the new Docker Compose V2 standard outlined by Docker.

For Broadsea 3.5, you will need Docker version 1.27.0+.

Broadsea Dependencies

  • Linux, Mac, or Windows with WSL
  • Docker 1.27.0+
  • Git
  • Chromium-based web browser (Chrome, Edge, etc.)

Mac Silicon

If using Mac Silicon (M1, M2), you may need to set the DOCKER_ARCH variable in Section 1 of the .env file to "linux/arm64". Some Broadsea services still need to run via emulation of linux/amd64 and are hard-coded as such.

Broadsea - Quick start

  • Download and install Docker. See the installation instructions at the Docker Web Site
  • git clone this GitHub repo:
git clone https://github.com/OHDSI/Broadsea.git
  • In a command line / terminal window - navigate to the directory where this README.md file is located and start the Broadsea Docker Containers using the below command. On Linux you may need to use 'sudo' to run this command. Wait up to one minute for the Docker containers to start.
docker compose --profile default up -d
  • In your web browser open the URL: "http://127.0.0.1"
  • Click on the Atlas link to open Atlas in a new browser window
  • Click on the Hades link to open HADES (RStudio) in a new browser window.
    • The default RStudio userid is 'ohdsi' and the default password is located in the ./secrets/hades/HADES_PASSWORD file.

Broadsea - Advanced Usage

.env file

The .env file that comes with Broadsea has default and sample values. For advanced use, modify the values as appropriate, as covered below.

Docker Secrets (New for 3.5)

Broadsea leverages Docker Secrets to handle sensitive passwords and secret keys.

In Broadsea 3.0, these were handled via plain-text environment variables, which is not best security practice

Now in Broadsea 3.5, each sensitive password or secret key is to be stored in a file; the paths to these files is then set in the .env file per Section. Please refer to the default ./secrets folder for examples on how to set up these files for your site.

Remote Servers

In Section 1 of the .env file, set BROADSEA_HOST as the IP address or host name (without http/https) of the remote server.

Docker Profiles

Broadsea makes use of Docker profiles to allow for either a full default deployment ("default"), or a more a-la-carte approach in which you can pick and choose which services you'd like to deploy.

You can use this syntax for this approach, substituting profile names in:

docker compose --env-file .env --profile profile1 --profile profile2 ... up -d

Traefik Dashboard

Broadsea uses Traefik as a proxy for all containers within. The traefik dashboard is enabled by default at /dashboard/, and can be useful for debugging the proxy network.

SSL

Traefik can be set up with SSL to enable HTTPS:

  1. Obtain a crt and key file. Rename them to "broadsea.crt" and "broadsea.key", respectively.
  2. In Section 1 of the .env file:
  • Update the BROADSEA_CERTS_FOLDER to the folder that holds these cert files.
  • Update the HTTP_TYPE to "https"

Broadsea Content Page

To adjust which app links to display on the Broadsea content page ("/"), refer to Section 12 of the .env file. Use "show" to display the div or "none" to hide it.

Vocabulary Loading

OMOP Vocabulary in Postgres

To load a new OMOP Vocabulary into a Postgres schema, review and fill out Section 9 of the .env file. Please note: this service will attempt to run the CPT4 import process for the CONCEPT table, so you will need a UMLS API Key from https://uts.nlm.nih.gov/uts/profile; store this in a file and set the path to the file as UMLS_API_KEY_FILE.

The Broadsea atlasdb Postgres instance is listed by default, but you can use an external Postgres instance. You need to copy your Athena downloaded files into ./omop_vocab/files.

Build SOLR Vocab for Atlas

Note: with WebAPI 2.14, you will need to use the webapi-from-git profile and set WEBAPI_MAVEN_PROFILE to webapi-docker,webapi-solr

To enable the use of SOLR for fast OMOP Vocab search in Atlas, review and fill out Section 7 of the .env file. You can either point to an existing SOLR instance, or have Broadsea build one. The JDBC jar file is needed in the Broadsea root folder in order for Solr to perform the dataimport step.

OHDSI Web Applications

Atlas/WebAPI Security

To enable a security provider for authentication and identity management in Atlas/WebAPI, review and fill out Sections 4 and 5 in the .env file.

Broadsea-AtlasDB Security

Atlas database based security is pre-configured by the Broadsea-AtlasDB project and can be used as a demo. To enable this security:

  1. Update these environment variables in Sections 2, 4, and 5 in the .env file:
    • section 2:
      • ATLAS_USER_AUTH_ENABLED="true"
    • section 4:
      • ATLAS_SECURITY_PROVIDER_TYPE="db"
      • ATLAS_SECURITY_PROVIDER_NAME="DB Security"
      • ATLAS_SECURITY_USE_FORM="true"
      • ATLAS_SECURITY_USE_AJAX="true
    • section 5:
      • WEBAPI_SECURITY_PROVIDER="AtlasRegularSecurity"
      • SECURITY_AUTH_JDBC_ENABLED="true"
  2. Start the Broadsea docker containers
  3. Login to ATLAS with a demo user defined
    Role Username Password
    Admin admin admin
    Atlas user ohdsi ohdsi

Bring Your Own JDBC driver

The Docker implementation of WebAPI does not come with all JDBC drivers supported by OHDSI (for example, Snowflake). To add a JDBC driver to the WebAPI build, refer to Section 3 of the .env file and edit the WEBAPI_ADDITIONAL_JDBC_FILE_PATH variable to point to your JDBC driver file.

Bring Your Own Cacerts (Java Keystore) for LDAP and Snowflake connections

Some deployments require a Java Keystore (cacerts) file that establishes trust with Root Certificate Authorities for LDAP or Snowflake connections.

To allow this, alter the env variable WEBAPI_CACERTS_FILE to point to your cacerts file. WebAPI can then leverage it for these external Java SSL connections.

For Snowflake, you will need to also set the CDM_SNOWFLAKE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE env variable in Section 3.

Open LDAP

OpenLDAP is provided for testing purposes, and is not recommended for any production deployment. Refer to Section 13 of the .env file to establish user accounts (using secrets files) for this LDAP instance. A GUI-based LDAP explorer, such as Apache Directory Studio is recommended for managing this instance.

Atlas/WebAPI from Git repo

To build either Atlas or WebAPI from a git repo instead of from Docker Hub, use Section 6 to specify the Git repo paths. Branches and commits can be in the URL after a "#".

Phoebe Integration for Atlas

With Atlas 2.12.0 and above, a new concept recommendation feature is available, based upon the Phoebe project. Review and fill out Section 10 of the .env file to load the concept_recommended table needed for this feature into a Postgres hosted OMOP Vocabulary.

Ares Web Application

To mount files prepared for Ares (see CDM Post Processing), add your Ares data folder path to ARES_DATA_FOLDER in Section 11. By default, it will use the Broadsea shared volume cdm-postprocessing-data/ares used by the aresindexer service.

CDM ETL Design and Execution

DBT

DBT provides a command-line tool for ETL design. See Section 16 for configuring DBT.

Perseus (Experimental)

Perseus offers a full suite of services for data profiling, vocabulary mapping, ETL design, and ETL execution. See Section 16 for configuring Perseus.

pgAdmin4 (Experimental)

New to Broadsea, there's now a profile for deploying the pgAdmin4 web application for database management of Postgres. See Section 18 for setting up the initial default admin username and the password secret file.

CDM Post Processing

Once you have a CDM database available, it is important to run summary level statistics and data quality analyses prior to publishing the source to users. Broadsea provides services for running Achilles, DataQualityDashboard, and AresIndexer. See Section 17 for setting up the CDM connection details and the various application settings needed.

Evidence Generation

HADES in RStudio

The credentials for the RStudio user can be established in Section 8 of the .env file (with a password stored in a secrets file).

Sharing/Saving files between RStudio and Docker host machine

To permanently retain the "rstudio" user files in the "rstudio" user home directory, and make local R packages available to RStudio in the Broadsea Methods container the following steps are required:

  • In the same directory where the docker-compose.yml is stored create a sub-directory tree called "home/rstudio" and a sub-directory called "site-library"
  • Set the file permissions for the "home/rstudio" sub-directory tree and the "site-library" sub-directory to public read, write and execute.
  • Add the below volume mapping statements to the end of the broadsea-methods-library section of the docker-compose.yml file.
volumes:
      - ./home/rstudio:/home/rstudio
      - ./site-library:/usr/local/lib/R/site-library

Any files added to the home/rstudio or site-library sub-directories on the Docker host can be accessed by RStudio in the container.

The Broadsea Methods container RStudio /usr/lib/R/site-library originally contains the "littler" and "rgl" R packages. Volume mapping masks the original files in the directory so you will need to add those 2 packages to your Docker host site-library sub-directory if you need them.

Jupyter Data Science Notebook (Experimental)

New to Broadsea, there's now a profile for launching a simple, single user instance of Jupyter Data Science Notebook.

Evidence Dissemination

Open Shiny Server

To configure an open-source Shiny Server, refer to Section 14 of the .env file. Use the OPEN_SHINY_SERVER_APP_ROOT variable to point to a folder that will host Shiny apps.

Posit Connect

The pattern for using Posit Connect deviates from the rest of Broadsea due to the many configuration options available. A sample .gcfg file is included, but you likely will need to make modifications to it. See Posit Connect configuration guide for more information.

Shutting Down Broadsea

Compose Stop vs. Compose Down

If you want to keep a container for use later, you can use docker compose stop. This may be useful when you plan to restart the services later and want to persist the container's state and networks. If you want to remove the containers and recreate them later, use docker compose down. This will remove the containers and networks, but it will keep the volumes.

Stop Containers

Use the following CLI commands to stop and start Broadsea's containers.

docker compose stop
docker compose start

Or target a specific profile using --profile

docker compose --profile profile1 stop
docker compose --profile profile1 start

Down Containers

Use the following commands to down and then up Broadsea's containers.

docker compose down
docker compose start

Or target a specific profile using --profile

docker compose --profile profile1 down
docker compose --profile profile1 up

Down and Remove Volumes

By default Docker will create volumes and persist them. Any saved files or custom configs made in the containers themselves will persist through these containers. However, if you want to remove these volumes you can pass -v with docker compose down and the next time you compose up new volumes will be created.

docker compose down -v
docker compose up

Broadsea Intended Uses

Broadsea can deploy the OHDSI stack on any of the following infrastructure alternatives:

  • laptop / desktop
  • internally hosted server
  • cloud provider hosted server
  • cluster of servers (internally or cloud provider hosted)

It supports any database management system that the OHDSI stack supports, though some services are specific to Postgresql.

It supports any OS where Docker containers can run, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (including Ubuntu, CentOS & CoreOS).
