Looking for a hosted DHIS2 serverURL for the NeoRoo App by LibreHealth

Development - Développement SDK - Android Development

Hi everyone,

I’m a first time GSOC contributor for NeoRoo, a Flutter neonatal care app using DHIS2 as its backend by LibreHealth and I have two quick questions:

  1. SERVER URL: What’s the best DHIS2 server URL + credentials to use for testing the app, I tried to sign in into the app using the local server, but it didn’t work properly.I tried looking for urls in the librehealth forums,but couldn’t find anything. So i’m asking here.

  2. D2 FLUTTER SDK: Are there any example Flutter apps, tutorials, or GitHub repos that demonstrate the d2_touch SDK in action? Also — should we use the Flutter SDK (d2_touch) alone, or alongside the Android SDK (dhis2-android-sdk)?
    I would like to learn more About this D2 library, and how to implement it with native Android,ios?
    I’m a beginner with DHIS2 integration and any help or pointers would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks :folded_hands:

Hi @MinmiShin

Welcome to the DHIS2 Community of Practice!

You can test using the play.dhis2.org instances; however, a local instance would be better. You can deploy DHIS2 using Docker: DHIS2 Docker deployment

Could you share more about the specific use case? What is the ultimate goal that you are trying to achieve…? Thanks!

Hey Minmi ! Glad to see another contributor here!
I also had the same issue as you ! Thankfully, it’s resolved now.

Currently, I’m a bit confused about how to implement the Android sdk in the ios method channels, I’ve also opened a topic here:How to implement Dhis2 sdk's features in ios?
how are you thinking to implement this, if you do not mind sharing? I’m a bit stuck and as you know, this is a crucial part of the project , I’ve to implement asap, as the deadline is approaching.
Looking forward to your suggestions :slight_smile:

Sorry for the late reply!!my account was suspended for some reason and I was unable to respond.
I was actually looking for a DHIS2 backend hosted on the web(like render, railway etc.) rather than the local instance one , where I can sign up, add user, orgs, programs etc. I was not being able to run it properly locally because it was a bit resource heavy for my device.
Nevertheless, I found out a workaround! I started the server on google cloud shell editor and hosted it on pinggy for a certain amount of time, and it really worked out for my needs.
Thank you so much for the response!

Hey Debasmita, nice to meet you too!
I’m also facing this issue and I’m also not sure how to implement this.
For now, I’m thinking of using the web api with a native dart layer. I’m also currently working on this, but this is one of the ways I could think of.
Let me know if you find out any other ways to resolve this!
