Try the pipelines using local test servers - google/fhir-data-pipes GitHub Wiki

This guide shows how to bring up servers with Docker images to test the FHIR Data Pipes pipelines.

There are 3 Docker server configurations you can use for testing:

  • HAPI FHIR server with Postgres (source)
  • OpenMRS Reference Application with MySQL (source)
  • HAPI FHIR server (destination)

Instructions

Note: All commands are run from the root directory of the repository.

  1. Create an external Docker network named cloudbuild:

    docker network create cloudbuild
    
  2. Bring up a FHIR source server for the pipeline. This can be either:

    • HAPI FHIR server with Postgres:

      docker-compose  -f ./docker/hapi-compose.yml up  --force-recreate -d
      

      The base FHIR URL for this server is http://localhost:8091/fhir. If you get a CORS error when accessing the URL, try manually refreshing (e.g. ctrl-shift-r).

    • OpenMRS Reference Application with MySQL:

      docker-compose -f ./docker/openmrs-compose.yml up --force-recreate -d
      

      The base FHIR URL for this server is http://localhost:8099/openmrs/ws/fhir2/R4

  3. Upload the synthetic data stored in sample_data to the FHIR server that you brought up using the Synthea data uploader.

    The uploader requires the google-auth Python library, which you can install using:

    pip3 install --upgrade google-auth
    

    For example, to upload to the HAPI FHIR server brought up in the previous step, run:

    python3 ./synthea-hiv/uploader/main.py HAPI http://localhost:8091/fhir \
    --input_dir ./synthea-hiv/sample_data --cores 8
    

    Depending on your machine, using too many cores may slow down your machine or cause JDBC connection pool errors with the HAPI FHIR server. Reducing the number of cores using the --cores flag should help at the cost of increasing the time to upload the data.

  4. (optional) If you only want to output Apache Parquet files, there is no additional setup. If you want to test outputting to another FHIR server, then bring up a destination HAPI FHIR server:

    docker-compose  -f ./docker/sink-compose.yml up  --force-recreate -d
    

    The base URL for this server is http://localhost:8098/fhir.

Additional notes for OpenMRS

Once running you can access OpenMRS at http://localhost:8099/openmrs/ using username "admin" and password "Admin123". The Docker image includes the required FHIR2 module and demo data. Edit docker/openmrs-compose.yaml to change the default port.

Note: If docker-compose fails, you may need to adjust file permissions. In particular if the permissions on mysqld.cnf is not right, the datadir set in this file will not be read by MySQL and it will cause OpenMRS to require its initialsetup (which is not needed since the MySQL image already has all the data and tables needed):

$ docker-compose -f docker/openmrs-compose.yaml down -v
$ chmod a+r docker/mysql-build/mysqld.cnf
$ chmod -R a+r ./utils
$ docker-compose -f docker/openmrs-compose.yaml up

In order to see the demo data in OpenMRS you must rebuild the search index. In OpenMRS go to Home > System Administration > Advanced Administration. Under Maintenance go to Search Index then Rebuild Search Index.
