Hospital Run is an open-source hospital management software that helps streamline the healthcare industry, and it is available for Fedora CoreOS. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Hospital Run on Fedora CoreOS, step by step.
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.
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
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
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.
Navigate to the hospitalrun-server directory:
cd hospitalrun-server
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.
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.
This tutorial showed you how you can install Hospital Run on a Fedora CoreOS server. By following these steps, Healthcare professionals can start using Hospital Run to manage their hospital efficiently.
