Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Update the System
Before you begin, it's always a good practice to update the system packages to their latest versions.
Run the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
This command will update all the packages on the server, and it might take a while, depending on the available updates.
Step 2: Install Docker
Hospital Run requires Docker to be already installed; if you've not already installed Docker, run the following command to install Docker:
sudo dnf install podman-docker -y
Step 3: Install Docker Compose
To run Hospital Run, we need Docker Compose, which is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. Run the following command to install Docker Compose:
sudo dnf install docker-compose -y
Step 4: Clone the Hospital Run Repository
Now, we need to clone the Hospital Run repository to the server:
sudo git clone https://github.com/HospitalRun/hospitalrun-server.git
This command will clone the Hospital Run repository to the current directory on the server.
Step 5: Move to the Hospital Run Directory
Navigate to the hospitalrun-server directory:
cd hospitalrun-server
Step 6: Run the Docker Compose File
In the hospitalrun-server directory, there's a docker-compose.yml file that contains the definitions of the containers Hospital Run needs. The following command starts the Hospital Run application in the background:
sudo docker-compose up --build -d
This command might take a while, depending on your internet connection's speed.
Step 7: Verify the Hospital Run Installation
To check if Hospital Run is running, launch a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000; you should see the Hospital Run login screen.
