FreeNAS with PACS plugin

[laichiwang]

Hi to all,

I am new to FreeNAS. My first deployment is a mini box contains an ITX motherboard with J3160 CPU onboard, 16GB DDR3 ram and 4x Toshiba 3T hard disks. The mini box is running great at high speed. I would like to know if there is any plugin to run PACS such as dcm4chee which is similar to synology's dcm4chee add-on? My FreeNAS is basically a storage of tons of dicom images. I run Osirix on iMac and connect to this FreeNAS to store 9M+ images. A better configuration is to run PACS on the FreeNAS (similar to BT client, minecraft server and media server plugins) in terms of performance and stability. Moreover, a standalone PACS means it can be used to store and retrieve images 24 hours a day without my iMac. If a plugin is not available due to the structure of FreeNAS or complexity, is it possible to run dcm4chee concurrently with FreeNAS? Any comment is helpful. Thanks!

its looks like dcm4chee is a java program.
if I needed to set that up I would figure our if there is a jar/war file for it, install openjdk in a jail, write an init script to start, and use that to run it.

Yes, it is a java program which runs with a database engine such as MySQL, postgre sql, db2, etc. It is relatively simple to run on ubuntu but I have no experience on freenas and especially integration of different Linux environment. Could it be more specific such as installation of Java and database engine on freenas?

are you asking how to install java and a database on freenas? you should create a jail on freenas, that is a freebsd environment. there you can install like this
pkg install openjdk mysql57-server

freenas has nothing to do with Linux. you could though install a VM with Linux, though I never have. and doing some googling, you don't need to, people have run dcm4chee on freebsd
