Use a Shared Keystore Across the Cluster

Upload the keystore file into S3. The file must be accessible by your ECS cluster. Note the Object URL of the file in S3. Include the following environment variables in your ECS configuration: KEYSTORE_DOWNLOAD - The S3 Object URL of the Mirth® Connect keystore file. This file will be downloaded into the container and Mirth® Connect will use it as its keystore. ALLOW_INSECURE - Allow the insecure SSL connections when downloading files during startup. This applies to keystore downloads, plugin downloads, and server library downloads. Parent topic: ECS File Storage

Install Extensions

Create a zip file containing all the extension zip files that you wish to install. Upload the created zip file into S3. The file must be accessible by your ECS cluster. Note the Object URL of the file in S3. Include the following environment variables in your ECS configuration: EXTENSIONS_DOWNLOAD - The S3 Object URL of the zip file containing the extensions. This file will be downloaded into the container, and the extensions will be installed on the Mirth® Connect server. ALLOW_INSECURE - Allow insecure SSL connections when downloading files during startup. This applies to keystore downloads, plugin downloads, and server library downloads.

ECS File Storage

When running Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare in ECS, the local file system of each container is ephemeral, so certain Mirth® Connect features do not work as usual. Installing extensions, installing custom JAR files into the server-launcher-lib folder, and using a shared keystore across the cluster will not work without additional configuration. To use these features, we recommend storing the appropriate files in S3 and setting environment variables that tell the containers where to download the files from.

Use a Shared Keystore Across the Cluster

Upload the keystore file into S3. The file must be accessible by your ECS cluster. Note the Object URL of the file in S3. Include the following environment variables in your ECS configuration: KEYSTORE_TYPE - The type of keystore, for example, JKS. KEYSTORE_DOWNLOAD - The S3 Object URL of the Mirth® Connect keystore file. This file will be downloaded into the container and Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare will use it as its keystore. ALLOW_INSECURE - Allow insecure SSL connections when downloading files during startup. This applies to keystore downloads, plugin downloads, and server library downloads.
