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
ArchivistaBox is released under the AGPL v3. While the commercial version is built upon this foundation, it includes additional proprietary licensed elements.
Usage
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
The software published under a Free Software license does not include the build scripts or instructions that would allow rebuilding the live CD.
