Re: [Health] GNU HEALTH LIVE CD

[Raymond Omeni]

Hi.

Is there a web interface/client that works with the tryton server? Can the tryton server be ported to a web browser, so that portable devices such as Ipads can access and exchange information? This liberty has a lot of attraction for doctors, who by the way have become very fond of tablets and smart phones, especially at work.

Regards,

Raymond

Hi Luis,
thanks a lot for a truly extra-quick answer!t 

Let me try to sum my feelings up in a more concise way:
I love free/libre software, so I will NOT be put off by just the amount
of technical  knowledge required in order to set GNU Health correctly up
and running.
However, let us not forget that many others will just feel frightened/
intimidated/ discouraged by the intricacies of the set up procedure....
So, yes, I will go on and try again (not with openSuSE though :-)
until I obtain a fully working version of it (and of course I will let
the list participants know when I get there!)

Great !

Please report any issues you find in the process, so we can improve it
and make sure that work in as many Operating Systems.

On the other hand, despite I do agree with you that a "real-world"
install should
be done in a way that should indeed offer ample possibilities for a
tailor-made set up,
I still maintain that if we had a "live" pre-installed CD/DVD, it could
be an excellent attraction
for new comers to give it a go and become convinced that GNU Health does
work
and that it can live up to the challenge of organizing a robust health
service.

Agree. We need somebody from the community that will take that role. We
should have an ISO as per each new release, and always thinking of it as
a demo environment. We can include the current PG dump for that release.

All the best,

Thanks again for giving some consideration to this discussion that I and
Raymond brought up.
Friendly regards and appreciation for your excellent work!

Dear all,
I am using Ubuntu and Debian as my two basic distros and so,
I am all too hesitant in jumping into an entirely different distribution
such as OpenSUSE....
Despite my eagerness about GNU Health, I do not think I will embark onto
OpenSUSE at all.
I still remain of the same opinion as Raymond and I really feel that a
live CD of a pre-installed instance of GNU Health
would make it so much more appealing for people not-technically-adept to
at least give it a go.
Thanks however for listening to my thoughts.

We don't have a problem at all by having a version-dependent GNU Health
ISO (live CD / USB ), but I truly think that is best to use the
installation method on Wikibook.

Large systems such as GNU Health have dependencies, operating system
specific instructions, database setup, Tryton configuration (ERP,
security, modules, updates, connectivity ... ) that need to be
addressed. This has lead me to put the focus on documenting the
installation.

To test the system we have the Community Database and we also have the
database dumps for each release, so you can either connect via Internet
to the demo DB or install the DB locally.

So, summing up, I think that for demo, we can make a Live CD / USB, but
for real world, production servers, the installation method should be
tailored to your needs, and to achieve that you need the use the
installation method from Wikibooks. Of course, there is room for
improvement in both the scripts and the documentation, and we are
working on both.

Just my 2 cents :)

Let me know your thoughts.

All the best,

Constantine

Axel,

I have waited for Kostis's response concerning ''the one-click''
installation of GNU Health on OpenSUSE to ascertain the ease of
installation on openSUSUE. But going by the instructions on the link
you provided in the email to Kostis, I would say it takes quite a
number of clicks to install GNU Health on OpenSUSE.

Majority of those who are in position to evaluate and enventually
adopt GNU Health may not be people with horned skills in IT, therefore
if the installation involves too many technical details, there will be
a preference for an easier EMR installation.

  I know it may require a lot of work from the GNU Health technical
crew but in my opinion(and I guess the opinion of many silent voices),
a live CD of pre-installed GNU Health with the option of installation
to hard disk is the way to go. This way, people can easily easily
evaluate GNU Health and decide whether to install it or not on hard
drive.

Best regards,

Raymond Omeni

please give it a try and install GNU Health on openSUSE, as
described here:

My goal was to create an easy, dashboard-like installation.
openSUSE is nowadays a one-click installation...gnu health should
now be as
well
Give it a try and post your results

Thanks
