Notes

Managing Master Files explains available strategies for how avalon can handle master files after they have been processed. 

Bibliographic Import Configuration explains how to configure Avalon to import metadata from an external source such as an OPAC.

Config overwrites should be placed in config/settings/<environment>.local.yml

If using env var, set SETTINGS__EMAIL__MAILER=aws_sdk to send emails using Amazon SES 

config/database.yml

Purpose

Environment-specific database connection information for Rails.

Format

YAML

Example

^production:

^adapter:

^mysql2

^host:

^localhost

^database:

^rails

^username:

^rails

^password:

^rails

^pool:

⁵

^timeout:

⁵⁰⁰⁰ 

Notes

See Configuring a Database in the Ruby on Rails Getting Started Guide for more options. Changing the database adapter will require updating Gemfile to require the correct adapter. Here are the instructions for installing the mysql adapter called mysql2.

config/fedora.yml

Contents

Environment-specific Fedora repository connection information for Hydra

Format

YAML

Example

^production:

^user:

^fedoraAdmin

^password:

^fedoraAdmin

^url:

^{http://127.0.0.1:8984/fedora4/rest}

^base_path:

^/prod 

Contents

Configuration for optional Intercom feature. Allows this instance on Avalon to push contents to another instance of Avalon.

Format

YAML

Example

^intercom:
 

^default:
   

^url:

^{https://some.avalon.com/}
   

^api_token:

^{a_valid_token}
   

^{import_bib_record:}

^true
   

^publish:

^false

^push_label:

^text

^for

^the

^'push'

^button

Notes

Intercom utilizes the Ingest API and requires an API token to connect. This token is generated on the target Avalon with `bundle exec rake avalon:token:generate username=archivist email=archivist1@example.com`

The streaming files will remain in place. Both instances of Avalon must be able to stream from that location.

config/solr.yml

Purpose

Environment-specific Solr connection information for Hydra

Format

YAML

Example

^production:

^url:

^{http://localhost:8983/solr/avalon}

config/role_map_<environment>.yml

Contents

Role groups and associated members to initialize the Hydra access controls database with

Format

YAML

Example

^{collection_manager:}

^-

^{archivist1@example.edu}

^-

^{archivist2@example.edu
group_manager:}

^-

^{donor1@example.com
manager:}

^-

^{researcher1@example.edu
administrator:}

^-

^{user1@example.edu}

^-

^{user2@otherinstitution.edu}

Notes

Example environments: development, production, test. So the filename would look like role_map_production.yml for the production environment.
