Europeana OAI-PMH server and test client applications (based on Spring-Boot)
To use the server, fill in the missing properties (wskey, mongo, solr and socks) in the oai-pmh.properties file.
Alternatively you can specify those properties in a separate oai-pmh.user.properties file. The latter is safer because
that file is in .gitignore so you don't accidentally commit the database credentials.
You can set up the server to use either the Record API (with the recordProviderClass=eu.europeana.oaipmh.service.RecordApi
setting) or retrieve data directly from a Mongo database (recordProviderClass=eu.europeana.oaipmh.service.DBRecordProvider)
However, the default is using Mongo database and using Record API is not officially supported.
The client application was designed to test the OAI-PMH server, so not to have a rich oai-pmh client application
for harvesting. To use the client, start it with the OAI-PMH verb of the operation you'd like to do as a parameter (e.g
listIdentifiers, listRecords, identify etc.). Other request parameters like set, from and until should be placed in the
oai-pmh-client.properties file.
mvn clean install (add -DskipTests) to skip the unit tests during build
Generate a Docker image using the project's Dockerfile
Configure the application by generating a oai-pmh.user.properties file and placing this in the
k8s folder. After deployment this file will override the settings specified in the oai-pmh.properties file
located in the server/src/main/resources folder. The .gitignore file makes sure the .user.properties file
is never committed.
Configure the deployment by setting the proper environment variables specified in the configuration template files in the k8s folder
Deploy to Kubernetes infrastructure
