Bahmni LITE comes with CIEL Concept dictionary, which comprises of over 50K medical terms. This can slow down the first time initialisation of DB. To use a pre-loaded DB with CIEL dictionary, to increase startup time, please follow these steps.

Use the bahmni/openmrs-db:clinic-config docker image as OpenMRS DB to reduce the booting time of Bahmni Lite.

Perform the following steps:

  1. Change the OPENMRS_DB_IMAGE_NAME variable to bahmni/openmrs-db:clinic-config in .env file of Bahmni Lite

    OPENMRS_DB_IMAGE_NAME=bahmni/openmrs-db:clinic-config

  2. Un-comment the volume mounts for configuration_checksums in openmrs and openmrs-db service in the docker-compose.yaml of Bahmni Lite. This is done so that the initializer module does not re-execute the changelogs which are already executed and loaded into the database.

  3. Start Bahmni Lite (that’s it!)

The DB dump with CIEL data is maintained here on github: https://github.com/Bahmni/clinic-config/tree/main/package/docker/resources
