GNU Health Docker

This project provides a Docker image for running a GNU Health server, configurable through environment variables to connect to a PostgreSQL database server. The project also includes a Docker Compose file to launch two containers of the image, connected to a single PostgreSQL server.

Setup

1. Ensure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine. If not, you can download them from Docker's official website.

2. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/OpenDx28/gnu-health-server-docker.git

3. Navigate to the directory:

cd gnu-health-server-docker

Usage

1. To build the Docker image, run:

docker build -t opendx/gnu_health .

2. To start the containers using Docker Compose, run:

docker-compose up -d

3. Open GNU Health Client and connect to the host server and port (changes from one instance to another).

Configuration

The Docker image can be configured using the following environment variables:

• DB_NAME: The name of the database to connect to. Defaults to ghs.
• DB_USER: The username to connect to the database with. Defaults to gnuhealth.
• DB_PASSWORD: The password to connect to the database with. Defaults to gnuhealth.
• DB_HOST: The hostname of the database server. Defaults to postgres.
• DEMO_DB: Set this to 0 for an empty database or 1 for a demo database. Defaults to 1.
• ADMIN_PASSWORD: Sets the default password for the admin user. Defaults to opendx28.

You can set these variables in the Docker Compose file.
