To get a quick look at timbuctoo go to: https://acc.repository.huygens.knaw.nl
This tool has been verified to work on Redhat 6. To build your own version, you can either have 'java 8' and 'maven 3' installed or use the maven3 docker container.
-
build using
mvn clean package
-
Do a quick debug run using
./devtools/debugrun/debugrun.sh
ordocker-compose up
. If you do not use docker the external services, such as solr won’t be started. Timbuctoo will still run and the API will run fine, but some urls in the web GUI won’t work.
To run a real version you’d run all services mentioned in the docker-compose.yml file yourself and start timbuctoo using ./target/appassembler/bin/timbuctoo server <your config>.yaml
.
You can use example_config.yaml for inspiration.
