Talk:GNU Health/Federation Technical Guide

While trying to get Thalamus/Federation running I noticed there are some missing and wrong informations in the documentation. I suggest the following changes:

- Advise to use a virtual environment. Otherwise the main server will crash since it uses a different version of werkzeug

- Put "pip3 install --user thalamus" above "Initializing PostgreSQL for the HIS and Person Master Index" because it depends on files delivered during the pip installation

- Add the information that the "demo directory" is where "pip3 show thalamus" points

- Change "psql < federation_schema.sql" to "psql -d federation < federation_schema.sql"

- In "Initializing PostgreSQL for the HIS and Person Master Index" change the numbering to 1,2,3 instead of 1,3,4

- The demo user/pw ITAPYT999HON:gnusolidario would also be a nice hint

- I finally managed to connect over uwsgi & https (on Ubuntu), but I needed some more steps:

sudo apt install uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-router-access uwsgi-plugin-python3

pip3 install flask-cors

replace psycopg2.connect(...) by psycopg2.connect(dbname=’federation’) in import_pg.py and thalamus.py

add lines "plugins = http,python3" and “venv = /path/venv/” to thalamus_uwsgi.ini
