GNU Health/The Demo database

Introduction to the Demo Database
GNU Health default installation comes with no data. It's interesting, for academic and training purposes to have some demo data that exemplifies concepts and improves the learning curve.

The demo database is an ongoing project and it will be adapting to the each new GNU Health version. The clinical history will also grow with time.

For consistency sake, it's important to have the main characters information constant (family members name, birth dates and place, health centers, family doctors etc.). The information and characters are fictitious and we should try to make it valid for different cultures.

Online Community Servers
We have two main community servers available in the Internet so you can connect and try the latest GNU Health. This is probably the simplest way to check out GNU Health for the first time.
 * 1) federation.gnuhealth.org: The GNU Health Federation community hub. Contains the latest stable version
 * 2) health.gnusolidario.org : This server holds the previous stable version of GNU Health HMIS and LIMS servers (3.2)

GNU Health Federation Community Hub
federation.gnuhealth.org: The GNU Health Federation community hub. Contains the latest stable version of the following components :
 * Thalamus message server
 * Health Information System and Person Master Index
 * GNU Health HMIS and LIMS nodes
 * GNU Health WebDAV server and calendaring system

The community Hospital Management demo server runs behind a web server (NGINX) and a WSGI server (UWSGI).

Connection to the GNU Health HMIS and LIMS
1. Install the GNU Health client (GNU/Linux, FreeBSD or other *NIX)

Proceed as explained in the GNU Health Client Installation section

2. Use the following server and credentials. Please note that the Database name can change. You can use the "profile" to select the DB from the list

Note : The community server database resets itself everyday at 00:30 UTC, so we have clean demo data. That means that you can also play and experiment with it without fear of "breaking" the DB :).

Note : Please do not change the language of the admin account! Instead, copy the admin account to a new account, e.g. admin_fr, and set this accounts language to the desired language!

Connection to the Health Information System via Browser
You can connect to the community hub using the web interface. Please note that this is alpha and not intended for production systems yet.

https://federation.gnuhealth.org:8900

Development server
For developers : There is a developer database that runs on the latest development version. To connect to the developer community server, use port 9555, with the same credentials. Needless to say, the developer version is highly unstable, and is just for developers.

The Webdav server is at port 9080

Local Demo Database
This method should give the most up-to-date demo database.

As the gnuhealth user, use the GHealth demo DB installer script. You can download the latest version from GNUHealth at Savannah mercurial repository ( https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/health/file/tip/tryton/scripts/demodb )

$ ./install_demo_database.sh 40

This will download the demo database of version 4.0.x. It will also create the database locally.

Now enter the database through the GNU Health client. For example, for 4.0.x releases:


 * Database: ghdemo40
 * Username: admin
 * Password: gnusolidario

There is a user "admin_es" that uses the Spanish language.

You can browse the current demo databases, from our GH site download area:
