Archivematica Storage Service 0.16.1 is a legacy release, and these documents are no longer being maintained.

Archivematica Storage Service documentation

The Storage Service is used alongside Archivematica to manage the storage locations and packages for one or many Archivematica dashboards.

For information about Archivematica, including user and administrator manuals, please see the Archivematica documentation.

Administering the Storage Service

This section provides information for Storage Service administrators. This manual is intended for systems administrators who are responsible for installing, configuring, setting up, and maintaining Archivematica and related systems.

AIP recovery

AIP recovery support allows a storage service administrator to replace a corrupt version of a stored AIP with a correct version (restored from a backup, for example).

Fixity

The Archivematica Storage Service exposes an API endpoint that allows users to check fixity on individual AIPs. Fixity is also an application for use with the Archivematica Storage Service. The Fixity application is run from the command-line and uses the API endpoint to perform batch checking across the entirety of the AIP storage location.

Installation

This section describes how to install the Storage Service manually.

Note

Most users install the Storage Service alongside Archivematica from Ansible or packages using the Archivematica general installation documentation.
