Hello all.
1)
The two options of Running DHIS2 in Docker in the link below are they complementary or independent?

I mean, should we do both of them, one in addition to the other?
2) Assuming that they are independent,
a) How can one access the DHIS2 instance installed with d2 cluster CLI on a remote server?
b) How can one access the DHIS2 instance installed with Docker compose on a remote server?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Regards

Hi @DAGBEMAMBOU

Glad to see you back to this and I hope it works out for you. You don’t need both to use DHIS2 in Docker. Docker compose is the more technical and advanced way but the other option is the quickest way to spin off an instance.

Would you please clarify your question? Do you mean that you’ve installed a DHIS2 instance on a remote server and you’re now trying to access it through the web browser? If so, this depends on your network configuration as well as firewall in the server as well as setting up SSL certification for the instance to remotely access it safely.

If you’re installing on a remote server then why not use a direct instance of Ubuntu with all the other software requirements mentioned in Manual install on Ubuntu - DHIS2 Documentation

Hi @Gassim
Thank you so much for your reply.
Following ths guide Creating a DHIS2 Web app | DHIS2 Developer Portal, I was able to create a DHIS2 web App on a remote server; but, not able to access it via a browser.
Fortunately, this is already resolved thanks to the assistance of the hosting platform’s support team.
As soon as I have a bit of time, I will try installing a direct instance using the guide you shared in your post.
Once again, thank you so much.
