Dear OpenSpecimen community and developpers,
I am discovering OpenSpecimen bio-banking. I have locally deployed the community edition V12.2 (with docker) and after few days of use and tests, this is a powerful LIMS to handle physical storage management (freezers), project protocols and cohorts, participants…
Unfortunately, there is actually an error leading impossibility to add bio-bank specimens (DNA, blood samples…). The error is : Workflow module not installed !
This main feature limitation lead to an incomplete and unusable LIMS solution. I have seen at least 3 topics on the same subject on this forum (2024 and 2025), none of them provide solution to the problem.
Some users asking if the community edition has been discontinued, some answers advise to use the 2 years old V10.3.
Is there any solution to correctly use the last community edition of Openspecimen ? Any solution to provide this missing Workflow module to the community ?
If someone know anything or can assist me in any way on finding information about this problem, that would be very useful for the whole community.
Cordially.
