Hello #Community I am wondering why fall into the issue of external-fhir server running when i start openelis using docker-compose. My worry comes after some time ago i did ran the application and it was up running and accessible via localhost:8081/fhir/. But this past days it’s not the case. I simply cloned [GitHub - I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2: OpenELIS 2.X is a rewrite of the original OpenELIS global with updated components and technology](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2.git) and then docker compose up, the webapp is running and i can open at localhost/ then login but not the case with localhost:8081/fhir what i am doing wrong ? i am not sure of. Please can someone look into this with me. thanks @muthondu_githinji @Moses_Mutesasira @Agaba_Derrick_Junior @Prajjwal_Kohli ---

@njiddasalifu by the fact that your OpenELIS web app is running , it means your FHIR server is running otherwise it would fail to start. The reason you cant acces the FHIR server is because we added an [ssl security layer](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2/blob/develop/docker-compose.yml#L84-L90) to the FHIR server so it its only accesible by authenticated clients with a valid ssl cert accepted by the FHIR sever.So it wont be accesible in your browser. To remove the SSL config ,comment out these [volumes](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2/blob/develop/docker-compose.yml#L91-L93) and update this [url](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2/blob/develop/volume/properties/common.properties#L11) to `http://fhir.openelis.org:8080/fhir/` In your browser you could then acces the FHIR server at `http://localhost:8081/fhir/` FYI Incase you dont intend to make any code changes , just run the [openelis-docker](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/openelis-docker) setup ---

Hello, how did you configure your common.properties? Did you add the # Remote FHIR server/Consolidated Server? ---
