Hi Joe,

I would recommend taking a look at DHIS2 Tools:

Hello there,

My organization has just recently decided that we may move forward with implementing DHIS2 (which I’ve found phenomenal). I’ve perused the documentation (also very good) and several other resources, but I am still looking for a straightforward guide for deployment to the cloud.

So far the best thing I’ve found is this blog post, which appears more like a copy paste of personal notes:
https://sites.google.com/site/caovannhan2002/hc-tp/build-and-run-dhis2

However so far, so good. I’m hoping to deploy to Heroku. But I am anticipating many of the usual snags, especially since I’m unfamiliar with the Java ecosystem.

If there’s a guide that could be linked, or otherwise guidance that could be extended, my organization would be very interested.

Best wishes,

Hi Joe

There are a couple of deployment approaches. Most folk are probably doing some sort of variant of the following:

  1. There is the step by step approach as described in chap 8 of the implementers manual (and which can be customised to suit)

  2. There is the docker build scripts maintained by Paulo Gracio at https://github.com/pgracio/dhis2-docker

  3. There is the debian package of dhis2-tools for installation and maintenance on ubuntu described in the manual at https://dhis2.github.io/dhis2-docs/master/en/implementer/html/ch20.html

I think they are all valuable in different contexts. (disclaimer: I have most experience with 3)

Cheers

Bob

Hi.

We are deploying DHIS2 to heroku on a regular basis. I can have a look with my colleagues for more detailed info. The basics is that it’s not as good for Java as for PHP or Ruby, but it works (DHIS2 is huge and Java is memory intensive, so you’ll need a relatively big/costly instance to make it run).
