coaxial/mayanedms repository overview

⁠Mayan EDMS custom image

I need extra languages for OCR, hence this custom derivative Mayan EDMS image.

Use as coaxial/mayanedms instead of mayanedms/mayanedms in commands.

⁠Starting

$ docker run \
  --detach \
  --name mayan-edms \
  --restart=always \
  --publish 8080:80 \
  --volume mayan_data:/var/lib/mayan \
  --volume mayan_dropbox:/srv/scanned_documents \
  coaxial/mayanedms

⁠Volumes

The directory at /srv/scanned_documents is watched by Mayan EDMS to automatically import any document dropped in it. This is used in combination with coaxial/ct2p to easily ingest scanned documents prepped for OCR.

⁠Upgrading

$ docker stop mayan-edms && docker rm mayan-edms && docker pull coaxial/mayanedms and then run the starting command again.

⁠Backing up

• Unpack the lib/backup_setup.tar.gz archive on the target machine at / with sudo

• Edit the email address in the backup script at /root/tarsnap-mayan-edms-backup.sh

• Set the permissions on the backup script:

$ chown root:root /root/tarsnap-mayan-edms-backup.sh && chmod 600
/root/tarnsap-mayan-edms-backup.sh && chmod u+x
/root/tarsnap-mayan-edms-backup.sh

• Add a cronjob:

# Backup Mayan EDMS data to tarnsap
12 2 * * * /root/tarsnap-mayan-edms-backup.sh

• Setup msmtp (instructions⁠

• Test the setup by running the script sudo /root/tarsnap-mayan-edms-backup.sh, checking if it ran successfully, and whether an email was dispatched

⁠Restoring backup

• List available backups: $ sudo tarsnap --list-archives | sort
• Restore chosen backup: $ sudo tarnsap -x -f <backup-name>

⁠TODO

This could be an ansible playbook...
