Europeana Contribute is a contribution platform enabling members of the public to share their European cultural heritage with Europeana.

• Ruby 2.5.5 & Bundler
• MongoDB
• Redis
• S3 object storage

For non-production environments, you may use the supplied Docker configuration to get started:

bundle exec ./docker/setup
docker-compose up

Docker will now be running three containers:

• minio for S3 object storage at localhost:3001, including a web UI at http://localhost:3001/
• mongodb for metadata storage at localhost:3002
• redis for enqueuing sidekiq jobs at localhost:3003

Your S3 access and secret keys along with other S3 configuration will have been written to the files .env.development and .env.test. Uploaded files will be stored in tmp/minio.

Install the gem bundle:

bundle install

Create MongoDB indexes, and seed:

bundle exec rake db:mongoid:create_indexes
bundle exec rake db:seed

Create an admin user:

bundle exec rake user:create [email protected] PASSWORD=secret

Start the web server and a sidekiq instance using foreman:

bundle exec foreman start

Now Europeana Contribute will be accessible at http://localhost:5000/ and its admin interface at http://localhost:5000/users and http://localhost:5000/contributions

If no other port is specified, port 5000 is set as the default by foreman initialization. To change the port simply add another PORT to your .env file.

#.env
PORT=3000
