Overview of

Best practices for setting up the temporary repo

What are the best practices?

How can we use GitHub to back up our configs without redeploying? Should we?

Backups

Backups right now are whatever ITS provides. They don’t back up the database, they take a snapshot of the VM. I’m unsure if they back up the binary assets and their storage location.

Themeing/front end design

Who should be involved? Gabe and Chin? Chris? Rachel Cox? When can this work begin, given their workloads?

URLs

Requires SSL Cert… Chin is working on this now.

Old URL:

http://repository.temple.edu:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/280

Is this the correct new URL:

http://repository.temple.edu/xmlui/

Storage Space

• ETDs could be placed in local DSpace instance. How much are we willing to spend on this?

• calculations forthcoming

• the decision is… should we put ETDs on the local DSpace? If so, how many? The digitization practices group suggested a subset.

Timeline

• How long will the procurement process take?

Contingency planning

• Who will be responsible for keeping the system up and running?

• If it goes down, who will bring it back up and on what timetable?

Related dev requests?

• Holly and Margery- they want redirects from CDM to DSpace (hosted) before the ETDs are deleted from CDM

• SWORD crosswalk from ProQuest

  • I have example crosswalks created by Vendors, but I want to consult with a Dev. If Annie and Alicia don’t need this for the test version than we can forgo it.
