Archivista is an open-source document management system based on Devuan Linux. It can be deployed as an embedded system or as a cluster solution, supporting multi-core processing for enhanced performance.
License
[edit]ArchivistaBox is released under the AGPL v3. While the commercial version is built upon this foundation, it includes additional proprietary licensed elements.
Usage
[edit]The ArchivistaBox is managed via a web-based user interface. The system is designed for operation on standalone workstations as well as within storage clusters. As a turnkey solution, it does not require an external software environment. For document capture, the software supports the integration of document scanners and multi-function printers (MFPs). Through the integrated Common Unix Printing System (CUPS), print data (spool files) are automatically converted into archival formats and stored in the database.
Building
[edit]The software published under a Free Software license does not include the build scripts or instructions that would allow rebuilding the live CD.
