OpenRIMS-RPM - Installation Part 3
Install as a service
For Linux the official guide is here https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/deployment.html#deployment.installing.nix-services.system-d
For Windows the official guide is here https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/deployment.html#deployment.installing.windows-services
Examples of the configurations are in the binary distributive on https://github.com/MSH/OpenRIMS/tree/main/bin. The folders are “windows” and “linux”.
Provide access from the Internet
To provide access from the Internet it will be a good idea to establish a proxy gateway like Nginx or Apache2. The example of virtual server configuration for Apache 2 is in the binary distributive, folder “Linux”.
