Omeka

Serious web publishing for cultural collections

Omeka is a standards-based web-publishing platform for the display of library, museum, archives, and scholarly collections and exhibitions. Its "five-minute setup" makes launching an online exhibition as easy as launching a blog. It is designed for scholars, museums, libraries, archives, and all cultural heritage enthusiasts.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

  • Omeka configurations:
    • Installed from upstream source code to /var/www/omeka

      Security note: Updates to Omeka may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. See Omeka documentation for upgrading.

  • SSL support out of the box.
  • Adminer administration frontend for MySQL (listening on port) 12322 - uses SSL).
  • Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).
  • Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.
