OpenRIMS-RPM - Installation Part 2
Objective
This document helps deploy Pharmadex 2 software first time, along with the demo database.
The audience of it is IT persons that are responsible to install and maintain the Pharmadex 2 software. Minimal qualification requirements are:
· Ability to install and configure programs and components in the selected Operation System.
· The MySQL knowledge.
Pre-conditions
Regardless of deployment configuration selected, the following pre-conditions should be fulfilled:
· At least 2 GB of free RAM
· At least 10GB of free SDD/HDD
· Operation Systems:
o Windows Server 2016 and above
o Windows 10
o Linux, released after 2018. Tested on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS and above
· MySQL R 5.7
o Server
o Workbench
· Oracle Java JDK 1.8. OpenJDK 1.8 has been tested on Linux Ubuntu, but not Windows
· Internet connection. Properties of it should suit minimal requirements for Google Mail
· Binary Pharmadex 2 distribution (see below)
· Pharmadex 2 demo database (https://github.com/MSH/Pharmadex2/tree/main/database[1])
· The own, private Google Mail account
Pharmadex 2 binary distribution
The possibility to build the Pharmadex 2 software directly from the source codes is possible, however is not covered by this document. However, this manual describes deployment from the binary distribution. For current, the MSH staff may get this distribution from the corporative GitHub, address is
The descriptions of binary components may be found in the respective file README.md
Steps to deploy
Prepare to install
1. Install using the vendor’s deployment manual:
1.1. MySQL
1.2. Java JDK 1.8
2. Restore the demo database to MySQL using MySQL Workbench or the command line
3. Copy the binary application pharmadex2-0.0.1.jar and application.properties to the dedicated folder, e.g. applications/pharmadex2
Configure
Local TCP/IP port
In the application.properties file edit the values marked bold (if it will be necessary):
Database
In the application.properties file edit the values marked bold:
spring.datasource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost/pdx2?useSSL=false&useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8&characterSetResults=UTF-8&serverTimezone=Europe/Kiev
spring.datasource.username = username
spring.datasource.password = password
Logs
In the application.properties file edit the values marked bold:
logging.file.path=/home/alexk/pharmadex/log
the good choice is:
logging.file.path= ./log/
After configuration it will be necessary to copy Client ID and Client secret to the application.properties
## OATH2
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.google.client-id=client_id
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.google.client-secret=client_secret
Install as a service
Examples of the configurations are in the binary distributive on/from GitHub. The folders are “Windows” and “Linux”.
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
Here are detailed steps for Ubuntu 22.04:
- Copy file .service to /etc/systemd/system: sudo cp pharmadex.service /etc/systemd/system
- Start the service: systemctl enable myapp.service
- Copy
For Windows the official guide is here https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/deployment.html#deployment.installing.windows-services
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”.
For Ubuntu 22.04 and Apache2 here are the steps:
- Copy pharmadex.conf to apache folder: sudo cp
