Steps for country deployment #51

Open kreinhardt opened 7 years ago

kreinhardt commented 7 years ago

Hi @abyot - can you write up the steps needed for country deployment of the SUN PMT? THis would include what files are needed, what kinds of skills are need (what do you need to know to deploy), server choices, etc.

This can just be in a check list format.

Of course every country might be a little difference but we can assume that in a typical country there is DHIS2 already in place (at least) in the health sector and that there is the average level of DHIS2 expertise in the ministry of health.

just following up on this

abyot commented 7 years ago

not sure what exactly here... I mean an obvious thing to do is to just follow the standard DHIS2 installation / deployment procedure. See here. Chapter 4 talks about deployment strategies while chapter 8 is about server installation and configurations.

Let me know if you have particular points/issues in mind,

kreinhardt commented 7 years ago

ok. Is there anything that will be particular to the SUN PMT that needs to be taken into account?

abyot commented 7 years ago

No, there is nothing particular except those new feature developments. Using the system begins with a standard DHIS2 deployment followed by metadata creation (which you already have worked out a nice tool to guide).

One thing I can mention is that - we can make available a compiled version of the system ready for deployment. Of course countries are also welcome to generate a WAR file - the one ready for deployment - from the git hub source.

kreinhardt commented 7 years ago

What would a compiled version include? Would it include the "starter kit"?

abyot commented 7 years ago

No. The compiled one is just and executable version of the system which is totally different from the data base (or metadata).

kreinhardt commented 7 years ago

ok. what is the difference then between the compiled version and the WAR version? Is one easier/better? What do countries usually do?

abyot commented 7 years ago

the compiled version is the same as the WAR. The WAR file is generated when the source code is compiled.
