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.
