Archipelago Software Services

At the core of the Archipelago philosophy is our commitment to both simplicity and flexibility.

Under the hood, Archipelago's architecture is:

• Drupal (CMS)
• Solr (Search)
• Cantaloupe (Image Server)
• S3 Storage (Mini.io or any other S3 flavor)
• NLP + ML Server

Installation is entirely Dockerized and scripted with easy-to-follow directions.

• Docker containers are as follows:

Container	Purpose	Description
esmero-web	NGNIX	Routes calls to esmero-php
esmero-php	PHP-FPM	Has all binaries for postprocessing/exif/ocr/etc. Runs PHP code.
esmero-db	Database	AMD and INTEL processors: MYSQL 8 ARM processors: MariaDB
esmero-minio	Storage	S3 API compatible Backend file and ADO as file storage. In a local it will do all the S3 stuff, on a live instance it can server as file routing to AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, etc.
esmero-solr	Solr	Currently version 9.1.1
esmero-nlp	Natural Language Processing	NLP64 server for entity extraction, language detection, ML, etc.
esmero-cantaloupe	IIIF Media Server	Customized Server used to provide IIIF Image API/Media access
