Some thoughts on my preliminary investigation of #Omeka ( omeka.org/classic/docs/Install ).

Built on pretty standard #LAMP stack.
No official docker image that I could find, so of course I built my own.
Which reminded me why I HATE php.

Anyway.

Some light testing (running locally).
Pretty simple to use (good).
No fancy ideas about creating "presentation" versions of items, and keeping the original upload "pristine". I am of two minds on this - for now, not a problem for me, but I can see how large archives might be problematic.

For example, a MOV file needs to be presented as a MP4 for widest audience. And you probably don't want to lose the original.
With Omeka that means some manual work on the admin side.

It support plugins and themes - I'm of two minds here also. Good way
to extend functionality and allow for customization, but my experience with such things are not good ito longterm stabililty and maintenance.

I'm also not super keen on #MySQL as the db, due to recent corruptions issues with my #Nextcloud instance (moved that to #PostgreSQL ).
BUT, this will be read heavy, so maybe not an issue - hard-ish to corrupt a db by reading from it.

The useage of #DublinCore at least means (I think) in theory, if I really want, I should be able to migrate to another Dublin Core compatible system if needed. So...good.

My verdict - I'm going to play with it some more.
Install some plugins etc, see what happens.
I'm also building up a test set of assets, in case I want to eval something else.

#owncloud #owncloudinfinitescale #opencloud #nextcloud. @heinleinsupport at @clt_news 2025. Nice.
Warum Go? Warum ocis? Warum fork? Alles hier erklärt. Weil die Technologie überzeugt, die Architektur und das Produkt Skalierbarkeit bewiesen hat. 8 Millionen User bei der Bayern Cloud Schule, sagt man mir! #bycs. Ich bin so gespannt, was #Heinlein daraus macht. Schaut gut aus.

@johannmourlon @bsi @kiki Interessantes Projekt. Das kannte ich noch nicht. Ich fänd es toll, wenn Europa etwas zusammen auf die Beine stellen würde. Ich hoffe auch immer noch auf einen europäischen Suchindex. Das Europa kann wenn es will sieht man ja auch bei Airbus. Ich selbst habe zwar einen #Apple Computer, nutze aber nichts von #Google, #Meta, #Microsoft, aber gerne Sachen wie #Nextcloud, #VLC, #Librewolf und viele Apps aus #Europa.
