Persistent Identifier Service (PID Service)

This is a deployment system using docker for the PIDsvc https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/wiki/Siss/PIDService#Prerequisites

Overview

Persistent Identifier Service (PID Service) enables resolution of persistent identifiers. The proposed solution is using an approach to intercept all incoming HTTP requests at the Apache HTTP web server level and pass it through to the PID Service dispatcher servlet that implements a logic to recognise a pattern of an incoming request and compare it with one of the patterns configured in the PID Service and stored in a persistent relational data store (e.g. PostgreSQL) and then performs a set of user-defined actions, such as, HTTP header manipulation, redirects, proxying requests, delegating resolution to another service, etc. It features extendable architecture for future improvements and supports multiple control interfaces - visual user interface (UI) as well as programmable API for remote user-less management of URI mapping rules. Implementation has taken into account findings, requirements and observations discovered during technology review and prototype implementation phases that immediately preceded implementation of the PID Service: https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/wiki/bin/view/SISS4BoM/PIDTechnologyReview https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/wiki/bin/view/SISS4BoM/PIDPrototypeSolution

Deployment

1. git clone [] to your Server
2. docker-compose build
3. docker-compose up

Accessing the web interface for managing and implementing redirects

Current test deployment is at http://lw.oznome.csiro.au:8095/pidsvc/

PostgreSQL Backup

Currently the db is mapped to the host directory /OSM/MEL/LW_OZNOME/pidsvc/PIDsvc_db which is backed up. If deploying on another machine this directory will need to be created.
