Docker env configuration

Edit the .env.prod file to customise your installation. There should be no space between the variable name, the = and the value. Everything after the = until the end of the line is transferred as the value. These settings take effect when docker-compose is started or restarted.

Variables that should always be changed

Set a new secret key. Create your own, or generate one by using a tool like http://www.miniwebtool.com/django-secret-key-generator/ for this:

SECRET_KEY=

DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS is a string of hostnames or IPs with a space between each:

  • nginx is required for internal use

  • localhost 127.0.0.1 [::] allows access on the server using the localhost name or IP (using IPv4 or IPv6)

  • add the name and/or IP address of your server so it can be accessed from other computers on your network.

For example: DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS=nginx localhost 127.0.0.1 [::1] myservername

DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS=nginx localhost 127.0.0.1 [::1]

Variables to help with debugging problems

Set to 1 to enable Django debugging mode.

DEBUG=

Set the log level. Options are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, and CRITICAL, with progressively less logging.

LOG_LEVEL=
LOG_LEVEL_QRSCU=
LOG_LEVEL_EXTRACTOR=

Variables to be changed for your environment

E-mail server settings

EMAIL_HOST=
EMAIL_PORT=
EMAIL_HOST_USER=
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=
EMAIL_USE_TLS=
EMAIL_USE_SSL=
EMAIL_DOSE_ALERT_SENDER=
EMAIL_OPENREM_URL=

The host name and port of the e-mail server that you wish to use must be entered in the EMAIL_HOST and EMAIL_PORT fields. EMAIL_HOST might be your institution’s Outlook/Exchange server.

If the e-mail server is set to only allow authenticated users to send messages then a suitable user and password must be entered in the EMAIL_HOST_USER and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD fields. If this approach is used then it may be useful to request that an e-mail account be created specifically for sending these OpenREM alert messages.

It may be possible to configure the e-mail server to allow sending of messages that originate from the OpenREM server without authentication, in which case the user and password settings should not be required.

The EMAIL_USE_TLS and EMAIL_USE_SSL options should be configured to match the encryption requirements of the e-mail server. Use 0 for False (default) and 1 for True. Only one of these options should be set to 1.

The EMAIL_DOSE_ALERT_SENDER should contain the e-mail address that you want to use as the sender address.

The EMAIL_OPENREM_URL must contain the URL of your OpenREM installation in order for hyperlinks in the e-mail alert messages to function correctly.

Regionalisation

Local time zone for this installation. Choices can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_zones_by_name although not all choices may be available on all operating systems:

TIME_ZONE=Europe/London

Language code for this installation. All choices can be found here: http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/language-identifiers.html

LANGUAGE_CODE=en-us

If you set this to False, Django will make some optimizations so as not to load the internationalization machinery:

USE_I18N=True

If you set this to False, Django will not format dates, numbers and calendars according to the current locale:

USE_L10N=True

If you set this to False (default), Django will not use timezone-aware datetimes:

USE_TZ=False

XLSX date and time settings for exports:

XLSX_DATE=dd/mm/yyyy
XLSX_TIME=hh:mm:ss

Virtual directory settings

See Running the OpenREM website in a virtual directory for details of these variables - normally these can be left commented out.

Device Observer UID settings

OpenREM users have found one x-ray system which incorrectly sets the Device Observer UID to be equal to the Study Instance UID. In this situation a new entry is created in the display name settings for every new exam that arrives in OpenREM, making the display name table fill with many duplicate entries for the same system. To avoid this problem a list of models can be specified using the variable below - OpenREM will ignore the Device Observer UID value when creating new display names for any model in this list. The model name text must exactly match what is contained in the system’s Manufacturer’s Model Name DICOM tag (0008,1090).

IGNORE_DEVICE_OBSERVER_UID_FOR_THESE_MODELS = ['GE OEC Fluorostar']

Variables that should only be changed if you know what you are doing

## Database settings
SQL_HOST=db
SQL_ENGINE=django.db.backends.postgresql
SQL_PORT=5432
DATABASE=postgres
POSTGRES_USER=openremuser
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=openrem_pass
POSTGRES_DB=openrem_prod

## Paths
MEDIA_ROOT=/home/app/openrem/mediafiles
STATIC_ROOT=/home/app/openrem/staticfiles
LOG_ROOT=/logs

Variables that shouldn’t be changed

Changing this will mean some OpenREM functions will fail

DOCKER_INSTALL=1
