Hyrax is aRuby on Rails Engine built by theSamvera community. Hyrax provides a foundation for creating many different digital repository applications.

Note: As a Rails Engine, Hyrax is not a web application. To build your digital repository using Hyrax you must mount the Hyrax engine within a Rails application. We call an application that mounts Hyrax a "Hyrax-based application" (or sometimes a "Hyrax Application").

Hyrax offers the ability to:

• Create repository object types on demand
• Deposit content via multiple configurable workflows
• Describe content with flexible metadata
• Enable/disable optional features via an administrative dashboard
• And more (https://hyrax.samvera.org/about/)

More detailed documentation about Hyrax is available on theHyrax Github Wiki but if you have questions or need help, please email theSamvera community tech list or stop by the #dev channel in theSamvera community Slack team. You can also get in touch with theHyrax Maintenance Working Group, including the Hyrax Product Owner and Hyrax Tech Lead.

We also have aMaintenance Policy.

Steps to deploy a Hyrax-based application to production will vary depending on your particular ecosystem but here are some methods and things to consider:

• Hyrax Management Guide (provides guidance for things to keep in mind in production environments)
• Helm Chart to deploy Hyrax-based application (for cloud-based Kubernetes-style deployments)

This software has been developed by and is brought to you by the Samvera community. Learn more at theSamvera website.

This project is tested with Browserstack.
