Getting Started

Quickstart

Torch can be started with a single command using docker and by providing a configuration file e.g. .env. See Configuration for details on the configuration options.

docker run -d --name torch -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/medizininformatik-initiative/torch:1.0.0-alpha.7 --env-file [/path/to/.env]

Install prerequisites

TORCH interacts with the following components:

• a CQL ready FHIR Server like Blaze or FLARE for Cohort
• A FHIR Server / FHIR Search API
• Reverse Proxy (NGINX) (set by configuration)

The reverse proxy allows for integration into a site's multi-server infrastructure and provides a means of serving the extracted data.

Feasibility Deploy

For simplicity torch is integrated in the feasibility-triangle of the feasibility-deploy repository, but can also be installed without it.
