geoblacklight_admin

GeoBlacklight Admin is a GeoBlacklight plugin, built on Kithe, that provides a complex web-form for editing documents and an CSV-based import/export workflow for OpenGeoMetadata's Aardvark schema. GBL Admin is based on the Big Ten Academic Alliance's production workflow tool GEOMG.

Requirements

• Rails v6.1 (not v7 yet)
• Blacklight v7 (not v8)
• GeoBlacklight v4 (not v3)
• Solr v8.4+
• PostgreSQL (not MySQL-based DBs)
• Redis (for Sidekiq)
• OpenGeoMetadata's Aardvark Schema

Installation

PostgreSQL

You need a PostgreSQL database to use this project.

• Homebrew: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Homebrew
• Docker: https://www.docker.com/blog/how-to-use-the-postgres-docker-official-image/

Install Template

Use Ruby v3.2 and Rails v6.1.7.4 to bootstrap a new GeoBlacklight + GBL Admin application using the template script:

rails _6.1.7.4_ new gbl_admin -m https://raw.githubusercontent.com/geobtaa/geoblacklight_admin/develop/template.rb
cd gbl_admin
bundle exec rake gbl_admin:server

You have now generated the .internal_test_app and populated the Elements / FormElements tables for OMG Aardvark support.
