This is an HL7® FHIR® reference implementation server supporting the US Core R4 IG and SMART Launches.
By default, you can browse the server at
http://localhost:8080/reference-server, and the FHIR endpoint is at http://localhost:8080/reference-server/r4
The server runs using two containers, one for the server, and one for the
database. You can build the containers with docker-compose build and
run both containers with docker-compose up.
Note that sometimes on the initial start up, the database initialization might cause the inferno reference server container to not start correctly, so you may need to stop the container with docker-compose down and restart it with docker-compose up .
You can delete the server's data by stopping the containers with docker-compose down and then running docker volume rm inferno-reference-server_fhir-pgdata to remove the existing volume. Note that the default data will be reloaded when starting the containers.
The database will be initially populated with the resources in ./resources/ the next time the server starts. This folder by default contains 3 files, but you can add additional files in the form of transaction Bundles or individual resources, or you can remove the original files to start with an empty server.
If the server contains any Patient resources the initial loading process will be skipped, but you can force loading the files in this folder by setting the FORCE_LOAD_RESOURCES environment variable to true. Note that if the original files are re-loaded in this way, this will result in duplicate data being populated.
System Requirements: The reference server requires Java 11 or above.
If you cannot run docker, you will need to create a postgres database.
Once you have done that, update the src/main/resources/hapi.properties to connect datasource.url, datasource.username, datasource.password, datasource.schema (or make your existing postgres db have the provided values).
Once that is done, you can run an instance of the fhir-reference server using ./mvnw jetty:run (Linux/Mac) or .\mvnw.cmd jetty:run (Windows). You should be able to go to localhost:8080 to see information about the fhir server.
Currently, there is no registration process. To use with an app, use the default client ids:
To use as a public client, use SAMPLE_PUBLIC_CLIENT_ID as the client id.
To use as a confidential client, use SAMPLE_CONFIDENTIAL_CLIENT_ID as the client id, and SAMPLE_CONFIDENTIAL_CLIENT_SECRET as the client secret.
To launch an app from the EHR go to reference-server/app/app-launch
The Bulk Data Token Endpoint is /reference-server/oauth/bulk-token
The registered Bulk Data Client ID is eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsImtpZCI6InJlZ2lzdHJhdGlvbi10b2tlbiJ9.eyJqd2tzX3VybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly8xMC4xNS4yNTIuNzMvaW5mZXJuby8ud2VsbC1rbm93bi9qd2tzLmpzb24iLCJhY2Nlc3NUb2tlbnNFeHBpcmVJbiI6MTUsImlhdCI6MTU5NzQxMzE5NX0.q4v4Msc74kN506KTZ0q_minyapJw0gwlT6M_uiL73S4.
./resources/ provides the following resources:
- Patients with ids
85and355 - a Group with id
1a, containing patients85and355as members.
upload.rb includes the resources above, except the Group with id 1a.
If you would like to execute requests without going through the process to get a token, you can set the environment variable CUSTOM_BEARER_TOKEN to a value of your choice.
To revoke a token, go to reference-server/oauth/token/revoke-token
The tokens are currently saved in memory, so if the reference server is restarted, all existing tokens will be invalid
By default, the Dockerized server runs in read-only mode – meaning, operations
modifying the state of the server are not supported. For example, requests to
CREATE, UPDATE, or DELETE a resource will receive a 405 Method Not Allowed
error. To adjust this while running Docker, change the READ_ONLY environment
variable to false in ./docker-compose.yml. If running without Docker, run
./mvnw jetty:run -DREAD_ONLY=false when starting the server.
