samindcon/foiavista repository overview

This FOIA VistA docker image will create a VistA instance based on the FOIA VistA released to OSEHRA by VA at monthly interval, usually towards the first ten days of each month.

FOIA VistA docker image is provided as is for people who want VistA completely unmodifed. The only changes that are made to what is given to OSEHRA by the VA are some minor fixes to allow the instance to run on GT.M. If you download FOIA VistA, you are on your own for getting the VistA clients to connect and for getting the normal background processes (Taskman, Mailman) to start.

docker run -p 9430:9430 -p 8001:8001 -p 2222:22 -d -P --name=foiavista osehra/foiavista

This will require several minutes before the system completes the setup. Type the following command to see if FOIA VistA container is running

docker ps

You should see the following response:
