About

Steps to create a docker containter with mirth-connect-3.5.1 from an already existing image.

Create container

To create a mirth-connect container with v3.5.1, run

    docker run -d -P --name mirth marlycormar/mirth-connect-3.5.1

It will create a container from this already existing image found on Docker Hub.

Create container with custom configurations

You can apply custom configurations before running the mirth image:

1. Download a template configuration file from: https://github.com/marlycormar/mirth-connect-3.5.1/blob/master/mirth.properties.example

2. Rename the configuration file to mirth.properties:

    mv mirth.properties.example mirth.properties 
   

3. Make the necessary changes to the configuration file, e.g., add db credentials.

4. Run Mirth Connect with this configuration:

    docker run -d -P -v <absolute_path>/mirth.properties:/opt/mirth-connect/conf/mirth.properties marlycormar/mirth-connect-3.5.1
   

Usage

After the container is created, follow the steps below to open Mirth Connect:

1. Check the ports on which the server is running:

    docker ps
   

2. Download mirth connect admin by going to:

    127.0.0.1:<8080_PORT>/webstart.jnlp
   

e.g., 127.0.0.1:32771/webstart.jnlp

1. When prompted, provide the following configuration:

    host: https://localhost:<8443_PORT>
    username: admin
    password: admin
   

Notes

If you would like to run Mirth Shell, first copy the image name from docker ps and then run:

    docker run -it --link <image_name>:mirth-connect marlycormar/mirth-connect-3.5.1 java -jar mirth-cli-launcher.jar -a https://mirth-connect:8443 -u admin -p admin
