Durax

Durax is a Hyrax-based repository application for the Duke University Libraries.

Prerequisites

See the "Getting started" section of the README at https://github.com/samvera-labs/hyrax . For development purposes, you can ignore the prerequisites related to Fedora, Solr, and the SQL RDMS -- development/testing instances of Fedora and Solr are provided and SQLite can be used as the database.

Setup

• Clone this repo.
• If using rvm, you may want to create a separate gemset for this app. If you do so, you can add a .ruby-gemset to the app directory to automatically select that gemset when you enter the directory.
• Run bundle install.
• Run rake db:setup.
• Run rake hyrax:workflow:load. (This loads the default workflows into the application database.)
• Copy config/role_map.yml.sample to config/role_map.yml.
• In a separate window, run rake hydra:server. (This starts up Fedora, Solr, and the durax application. To stop these processes, use CTRL-C or whatever the equivalent command is on your workstation.)
• Run rake hyrax:default_admin_set:create. (This creates a default administrative set in the Fedora repository. This must be done while Fedora is running ... see step above.)

Admin User

Once you have created an account in your local development Durax application, you can make yourself an admin user:

Edit the config/role_map.yml file. In the development: section, under admin:, add entry for the username of the account you created, as I have done for tom@duke.edu in the example below.

development:
  admin:
    - admin@duke.edu
    - tom@duke.edu
  archivist:
    - archivist1@example.com

Save the config/role_map.yml file and restart your hydra:server.

Alternatively, if you would like to sometimes be an admin user and sometimes not, you can create a second account and add it to the config/role_map.yml file instead of your "regular" account. Or, you can create an account named admin@duke.edu, which has already been added as an admin user to the config/role_map.yml file.
