Description

Thingfish is a extensible, web-based digital asset manager. It can be used to store chunks of data on the network in an application-independent way, link the chunks together with metadata, and then search for the chunk you need later and fetch it, all through a REST API.

Requirements

Thingfish is written in ruby, and is tested using version 2.7. Other versions may work, but are not tested.

Installation

You can install Thingfish via Rubygems:

$ gem install thingfish

This will install the basic server and its dependencies. Additional functionality is available via separate gems in the following namespaces:

thingfish-metastore-* : Storage backends for resource metadata

thingfish-filestore-* : Storage backends for resources themselves

thingfish-processor-* : Filters and extractors for resources

Contributing

You can check out the current development source {with Mercurial}[http://bitbucket.org/ged/thingfish], or if you prefer Git, via the project's {Github mirror}[https://github.com/ged/thingfish].

After checking out the source, run:

$ rake newb

This task will install any missing dependencies, run the tests/specs, and generate the API documentation.

You can submit bug reports, suggestions, and read more about future plans at {the project page}[http://bitbucket.org/ged/thingfish].
