How to use this image

Running Mirth Connect Server

Mirth Connect Server contains the back-end for the management interface and the integration engine component, which performs message filtering, transformation, and transmission.

$ docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 tlrasor/mirth-connect

Configuring Mirth Connect Server

Create a configuration file for Mirth Connect Server from the default configuration file in SVN. Update the database properties to connect to a remote MySQL instance.

$ svn export https://svn.mirthcorp.com/connect/trunk/server/conf/mirth.properties ~/mirth.properties
$ vim mirth.properties
...
database = mysql
database.url = jdbc:mysql://prod-cluster.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com:3306/mirthdb
database.username = mirth
database.password = mirth

Launch the container and mount the configuration file:

$ docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 -v ~/mirth.properties:/opt/mirth-connect/conf/mirth.properties tlrasor/mirth-connect

Running Mirth Shell

In addition to the graphical Mirth Administrator, Mirth provides a command line interface known as the Mirth Shell.

First, get the name of the running Mirth Connect Server container:

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                                 COMMAND                CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                              NAMES
bf63b2b30e2c        tlrasor/mirth-connect          "java -jar mirth-ser   26 minutes ago      Up 26 minutes       0.0.0.0:32769->8080/tcp, 0.0.0.0:32768->8443/tcp   fervent_torvalds

Using the name, link the Mirth Connect Server container to the Mirth Shell container:

$ docker run -it --link fervent_torvalds:mirth-connect tlrasor/mirth-connect java -jar mirth-cli-launcher.jar -a https://mirth-connect:8443 -u admin -p admin
