Webserver Setup

Atlas Library is designed to run on Windows Server 2016 or later. There are a few installs to get the website running.

∞ Server Requirements

A single hospital install will generally have ~50gb of data. A majority of the data is report usage data. Here is a rule of thumb sizing for a single hospital. You can scale the numbers to your size -

• Database Server Ram: 50gb
• Database Server Disk Space: 120gb (keep in mind the ETL’s use a staging database, so you need effectively 2x the disk space of the prod database.)
• Server cores: 8

The website server requirements are much less. The website requires <5gb of disk space. On a shared webserver we would recommend 16gb ram and 8 cores.

∞ Install Requirements

• IIS Webserver with Microsoft .NET SDK 8 (Hosting Bundle)

  

• Ensure the following tools are installed via Server Manager > Manage > Add Roles and Features > IIS:

  • Common HTTP Features
  • Health and Diagnostics
  • Static Content Compression
  • Security
  • .Net Extensibility 4
  • asp.net 4
  • IIS Management Console
  • IIS Management Scripts and Tools
  • Management Services

• Java JRE. You can check your current install by running java --version in command prompt. Java can be downloaded here.

  • Add a system environment variable “JAVA_HOME” that points to the install path of java. Most likely something close to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17.0.1

∞ Setup IIS

Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on your Windows Server.

First, create a new site by right clicking on Site then Create New Site.

Next, fill out the require parameters. If you have setup a DNS you can enter it in the Host name box.

Finally, verify that windows authentication is enabled and all other methods are disabled.
