Museum Management Server

oneline:
software loadout for Lefranc museum management

As they move forward on the museum, I have been asked to provide software to help with administration.

I have neither the time nor the desire to build any software from scratch for this, so I'll be looking for off-the-shelf solutions. Omeka is a strong candidate for collection/exhibit management. It should also be capable of operating a mailing list through a plugin, but I doubt it will be able to handle accounting work.

Alternatively, I could set up a more general CMS. I'm currently exploring Wagtail for that purpose, which should allow me to present them with an extremely simplified user interface for day-to-day operations. It may even (with extra work on my part) offer some of the accounting features they want, all in a single package.

As is now my custom, I intend to install all software in Docker1) behind an Nginx proxy. I also plan to offer my services as server admin on an ongoing (paid) basis, though I will not be playing daily help desk.

  • collection management
  • mailing list for newsletter
  • donation accountability

I will probably have to make my own image and docker-compose file, as existing images on Dockerhub are severely out of date. Check out this repo for inspiration.
