Still maintained?

[danielnbalasoiu]

Is this project still maintained. I checked docker-compose.yml file and the entire software suite is using old version (tags).

@danielnbalasoiu, from my experience I know setting up successfully an own instance of zotero is pretty challenging. Additionally, the focus of the zotero developers is the cloud version and, therefore, any solution like zotero-prime is most likely a community contributed 3rd party niche offer without any funding behind. However, keeping up with the latest versions needs efforts which aren't valuable for anyone who already has a running version.

TL;DR: I wouldn't expect much updates here. Except community contributed fixes in forks of this repository or in the issues of this repository.

Is there any other third party zotero platform which can run on my own server?

@Huaweidev: I sometimes rebuild the client and also the last time it worked. Is it really while checking out or what are the exact steps to reproduce?

zotero6 is a huge uptade~~ pls consider upate to 6 thanks

Is there any other third party zotero platform which can run on my own server?

as I mentioned earlier, most people use the hosted version by the developers. Certainly, it would be great to have an on premises solution. However, maintaining this will probably not be possible with a solid funding, since so far there seems no real interest from the original developers and it is pretty uncertain if this could be viable business model. I would assume the people running it on premises also do it with the intent of cost savings. I know this situation is an issue common to many FOSS projects unfortunately.

[Huaweidev]

@hoehnp I do as installation steps, then report errors：

$ mkdir /path/to/your/app && cd /path/to/your/app
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/SamuelHassine/zotero-prime.git
$ cd zotero-prime
$ cd docker
$ sudo docker-compose up -d

Is there any other fully server side B/S mode literatures manage&read&mark software?

[hoehnp]

@Huaweidev, so we talk about the server side code. Then I was mistaken, I was talking about the client side. Sorry. To my knowledge the other large ones are all proprietary, i.e. Mendeley, Citavi, EndNote. Other solutions like bibsonomy, don't have a dedicated client to my knowledge.

Hi @Huaweidev
Because you have got network issue as per your log: github.com[0: 20.205.243.166]: errno=Connection timed out
Try to troubleshoot your network why it cannot connect to the host?

@Huaweidev
The issue is not in connection but it's typo in next files
./.git/modules/client/zotero-client/config
./.git/modules/client/zotero-standalone-build/config
Instead of https:// it has git:// in links which won't work.
Correcting these typos fixes submodule's cloning issue.

Hi @danielnbalasoiu @hpxing @hoehnp @Huaweidev
I'm working already on the updating to v.6 and spent first 12 hours.
You can buy me a coffee, I'll appreciate. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/uniuuu

[uniuuu]

Hi folks,

There is pre-alpha version zotprime v2.0.1

- Client updated to 6.0.26.SOURCE.fb61ea4ba
- Fixed dataserver

Testing and comments are welcomed.

[uniuuu]

Alpha version has been released: alpha

[uniuuu]

Hi folks,

First ZotPrime V2 beta has been released: ZotPrime v2.0.8-beta

-  Dataserver has been updated to the latest version/commit.
-  Client has been updated to the latest 6.0.27 (CI checks if any new update above 6.0.27)
-  Fixed dataserver issues.
-  Fixed and updated dependencies.
-  Reorganized folder structure.
-  Split tinymceclean-server and stream-server into separate containers.
-  Converted dataserver image to alpine
-  Added automatic client building via docker 

Could you please test it and let me know how smooth it's installing? Thank you in advance.

Also please check you may find convenient the proposed way to build client in one command via docker.
$ DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --file client.Dockerfile --output build .
Built saved into ./build/staging/Zotero_VERSION/. Note, currently it builds for Linux OS only.

[danielnbalasoiu]

@uniuuu I'm running the stack with docker-compose on a self-hosted VM but didn't got the chance to test it's functionality using the Zotero client since I hadn't a Linux machine at hand. I'll try later today or tomorrow and I'll get back with some feedback.

Until then keep up the great work you're doing 🚀
