ethercis-server-1.3

EtherCIS version 1.3 Server Container

This is based on and derived from the Scottish Digital Health EtherCIS Server Docker Container, but fixed for operation on a Linux host.

This Docker Container must be used in conjunction with the ethercis-db-1.3 Container

Prebuilt docker images for both are available on the Docker Hub:

• rtweed/ethercis-db
• rtweed/ethercis-server

Loading and Running the EtherCIS Server Container

This container is best run on a Linux platform or Virtual Machine, eg Ubuntu 18.04

1. Install Docker (unless already installed)

    curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh
   

To avoid using sudo when running docker commands:

    sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
    su - ${USER}

NB: You'll be asked to enter your Linux password

2. Load the Container

    docker pull rtweed/ethercis-server
   

3. Create a Docker Network (unless already created)

    docker network create ecis-net
   

Confirm that it's been created by listing your Docker networks

    docker network ls

You should see ecis-net included in the list as a bridged network

3. Running the Container

    docker run -it --rm --name ethercis-server --net ecis-net -e DB_IP=ethercis-db -e DB_PORT=5432 -e DB_USER=postgres -e DB_PW=postgres -p 8081:8080 rtweed/ethercis-server
   

Notes:

• the DB_IP environment variable value should match the name you specified in the docker run command that started the EtherCIS database Container

• the DB_PORT, DB_USER and DB_PW values should be left as specified above

• change the external listener port as required. In the example above, it will be listening on port 8081. The intername listener port MUST be 8080

Leave the EtherCIS server a few seconds to start up. It should then be connecting to the EtherCIS Database Container and is ready for use.
