Synthea Installer via docker-compose
Usage Instructions
Install Docker
Following the instructions here, install Docker for the proper host system.
When the system has been installed, we recommend that the Docker process be given at least 3GB of dedicated memory.
Start docker-compose
The command to execute the docker-compose process is simple. It will build or pull the proper images and start the containers after the process completes.
Within this directory, execute :
C:\Users\joe.snyder\work\OSEHRA\synthea_compose> docker-compose up --build

The screen will scroll as the containers prepare themselves for execution. The final message before the containers are ready is:
synservice_1 | 2019-06-12 15:43:33.762 INFO 107 --- [ restartedMain] c.d.d.d.DhpSyntheaServiceApplication : Started DhpSyntheaServiceApplication in 10.58 seconds (JVM running for 11.231
Accessing the containers
DHP Synthea Manager
Once the scrolling has stopped, visit http://localhost:8081 to view the "DHP Manager" interface and begin to generate patients.
Accessing VistA
The container with VistA running can be accessed by a couple of different methods.
- Ports
- 9430: Opened for connections from CPRS * Download of CPRS and other GUIS found here: Installer
- 2222: Opened for SSH connections to the container * information on connecting found here: SSH Connections
- 8001: Used for VistALink
Shutting down
To stop the process, simply hit CTL+C and the containers will attempt to quit gracefully. An additional CTL+C will force the containers down.
To remove the containers, execute the following command: docker-compose down
