Hi, I would like to have my openemr database available for various computers in different locations. I thought of syncing with a web storage facility like Ubuntu One. Can this be achieved and how?
Many thanks.
Another approach to this problem is to use a single database and connect remotely through a secure shell. (OpenSSH, SSH or Windows versions like putty). These can create an encrypted tunnel link across Internet. One can use a nonstandard port (i.e. not 22) for ssh access and can create tunnels for port 80 (i.e. html browser). Security can be enhanced with password and/or certificates. Then all you have to do is use a broswer directed to localhost/openemr on the remote computer.
All this functionality can be set up on any computer without buying any any software in a matter of a few minutes. A side benefit is that one could also choose (entirely apart from using OpenEMR) to tunnel ports for vnc access to workstations for other purposes.
Thanks for all your answers. I can see from the jargon that I’m going to have to seek the help of someone more technically expert than me(!), but I’m sure your answers will help orientate him.
