About

Install PostgreSQL, Tomcat, Nginx, and DHIS2 on CentOS 7.

Warning

Do not use this configuration in any production workloads! Configurations are intended for local development environments only!

Using

Install VirtualBox and Vagrant for your platform. Then, in a terminal, navigate to this directory and run vagrant up. After provisioning is complete, DHIS2 will be accessible at http://localhost:8080.

tl;dr

git clone https://github.com/baosystems/dhis2-centos.git
cd dhis2-centos
vagrant up

Wait a while... then, you can browse http://127.0.0.1:8080

Maintenance

It is required to SSH into the Virtual Machine by running:

vagrant ssh
sudo -i

Clear out DHIS2 database

service tomcat stop
psql -U dhis -d dhis2 -c "DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE; CREATE SCHEMA public;"
logout

Load your own DHIS2 database

Put your SQL file into the repository where you cloned it (on your host machine). Clear out database as described above. Shared files are in the /vagrant folder within the guest VM.

psql -U dhis -d dhis2 -f /vagrant/file.sql

Check DHIS2 logs

tail -f /opt/dhis2/logs/dhis.log

Load different DHIS2 version

service tomcat stop
cd /var/lib/tomcat/webapps
rm -f ROOT.war
rm -rf ROOT/
wget -O ROOT.war "https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/releases.dhis2.org/2.32.0/dhis.war"
service tomcat start
