Automating Omeka S instance setup

The Omeka-S-Cli tool can be used to automate the setup and configuration of new Omeka S instances. A typical workflow is:

Download and install Omeka S
- core:download <path> [version] to download Omeka S
- config:create-db-ini --dbname <dbname> --username <username> --password <password> --host <host> --port <port> to create the database.ini file
- core:install --admin-name <admin-name> --admin-email <admin-email> --admin-password <admin-password> to run the Omeka S installer
Add users
- user:add <email> <name> <role> [password] to add users
- user:create-api-key <user-id-or-email> <label> to add API keys for users
Download and install modules and themes
- module:download <module> to download a module
- module:install <module> to install a module
- theme:download <theme> to download a theme
Import vocabularies
- vocabulary:import --url <url> --namespace-uri="<uri>" --prefix="<prefix>" --label="<label>" to import a vocabulary from a URL (or --file <path>)
- vocabulary:import --config <file> to import a vocabulary from a JSON config file
Import resource templates
- resource-template:import <file> to import resource templates
Set config options
- config:set <id> <value> to set global settings
- config:import <folder> to import a folder of config files

+--------------------------+----------------------------+---------------+---------+------------------+---------------+-----------------+

You can export almost any command output with the --json option.

Example: Download a module from a repository

The easiest way to download a module is to use its official name. The downloader will search the name in one of the supported module repositories and automatically download the latest version compatible with the installed Omeka S core version.

# omeka-s-cli module:download common

If the module already exists, you can use the --force option to replace it with the newly downloaded version.

You can download a specific module version using the <module>:<version> syntax:

omeka-s-cli module:download common:3.4.67

The official Omeka S module repository does not always have all versions available. In that case, you can use a url to a zip-release or a git repository.

Example: Download a module from a zip release

omeka-s-cli module:download https://github.com/Daniel-KM/Omeka-S-module-Common/releases/download/3.4.65/Common-3.4.65.zip

Example: Download a module from a git repository

omeka-s-cli module:download https://github.com/GhentCDH/Omeka-S-module-AuthCAS.git

You can use the short gh:user/repo syntax for GitHub repositories:

omeka-s-cli module:download gh:GhentCDH/Omeka-S-module-AuthCAS

You can checkout a specific tag, branch or commit by appending #<branch|tag|commit>.

omeka-s-cli module:download https://github.com/Daniel-KM/Omeka-S-module-AdvancedSearch.git#3.4.22
omeka-s-cli module:download gh:Daniel-KM/Omeka-S-module-AdvancedSearch#3.4.22

The installer will run composer install in the module directory if a composer.lock file is present. Other dependencies must be installed manually.

Example: Download a theme

The theme downloader also automatically selects the latest version compatible with the installed Omeka S core version.

omeka-s-cli theme:download freedom

Or using the GitHub repository:

omeka-s-cli gh:omeka-s-themes/freedom#v1.0.6

Example: Import a vocabulary

Directly from a URL (or a local file with --file):

omeka-s-cli vocabulary:import --url "https://schema.org/version/latest/schemaorg-current-https.rdf" --namespace-uri="https://schema.org/" --prefix="schema" --label="schema.org"

Or from a JSON config file with the same fields. First create a JSON file:

{
    "url": "https://schema.org/version/latest/schemaorg-current-https.rdf",
    "label": "schema.org",
    "namespaceUri": "https://schema.org/",
    "prefix": "schema"
}

Then import it:

omeka-s-cli vocabulary:import --config ./schema-dot-org.json

Or from a repository such as LOV — search, then import by <repository>:<prefix>:

omeka-s-cli vocabulary:search event
omeka-s-cli vocabulary:import-from-repo lov:event

Example: Create dummy items

# 100 items using built-in defaults
omeka-s-cli dummy:create-items 100

# 100 items from a config file
omeka-s-cli dummy:create-items 100 --config ./examples/dummy/item.json

omeka-s-cli dummy:create-item-sets 10
omeka-s-cli dummy:create-item-sets 10 --config ./examples/dummy/item-set.json

See docs/dummy.md for the full generator and config reference.

Example: Import a resource template

Import a resource template from a file with:

omeka-s-cli resource-template:import "/path/to/template.json"

You can also specify a different label:

omeka-s-cli resource-template:import "/path/to/template.json" --label="My Custom Template"

Update an existing template by ID:

omeka-s-cli resource-template:import "/path/to/template.json" 2

Update an existing template by label:

omeka-s-cli resource-template:import "/path/to/template.json" "My Custom Template"
