Private Electronic Health Records (EHR) in Nextcloud
Refer to our detailed documentation here
- Download the last pre-build release
- Extract the
tar.gz
into the apps folder
- Clone the repo in the apps folder
- Run
make
in theehr
folder
For building, node
and npm
are required.
The app can be built using Makefile
During development the webpack dev server can be used to automatically build the code for every change.
Since the compiled source from the webpack dev server need to be injected in the regular Nextcloud sources a proxy setup is needed to combine things.
If your local Nextcloud setup runs at http://localhost:8080, an nginx configuration for the proxy would look like the following:
server {
listen 3001;
server_name localhost;
location /apps/ehr/build/main.js {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/build/main.js;
}
location /apps/ehr/build/main.css {
return 404;
}
location /build {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
}
location /__webpack_hmr {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
proxy_set_header Connection '';
proxy_http_version 1.1;
chunked_transfer_encoding off;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_cache off;
}
location / {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_hide_header Content-Security-Policy;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
}
}
This will run the proxy at http://localhost:3001/
After that, need to make some configurations about Nextcloud on config.php document where is under the nextcloud file.
'trusted_domains' =>
array (
0 => 'localhost:3001',
),
'overwritehost' => 'localhost:3001',
'overwrite.cli.url' => 'http://localhost:3001',
Make sure to be changed url hosts as localhost:3001.
Then, add this code line at the end of lines;
'debug' => true,
'theme' => '',
'loglevel' => 0,
'maintenance' => false,
'allow_local_remote_servers' => true,
With the proxy configured you can start the webpack dev server and specify where the Nextcloud proxy is.
PROXY_URL=http://localhost:3001/ make watch
Alternativately, Nextcloud and proxy server can be run in Docker for development using the following steps:
- Create
$HOME/NextcloudWorkspace
,$HOME/NextcloudWorkspace/db
and$HOME/NextcloudWorkspace/nextcloud
folder - Copy the content of
.development
folder in this repo into the$HOME/NextcloudWorkspace
folder - Run
docker-compose up -d
in the$HOME/NextcloudWorkspace
folder - Wait a bit for Nextcloud initialization
- Update
$HOME/NextcloudWorkspace/nextcloud/config/config.php
to usehttp://localhost:3001
url and enable debug mode - Clone the repo in the
$HOME/NextcloudWorkspace/nextcloud/apps
folder - Run
PROXY_URL=http://localhost:3001/ make watch
- Go to
http://localhost:3001
and enableElectronic Health Records (EHR)
application in Nextcloud
