======ITEC Drawing & Document Management System===

{{ :itec:file_storage.svg |}}

===Organizing principles for document storage and management ==
  - Security 
  - Open standards -- avoid "vendor lock-in"
    - Portability to new platforms 
    - Multiple backup options
    - Simple to "rebuild from scratch"
  - Simplicity and transparency of management and admin
    - Avoid solutions that require deep knowledge or training to administer
    - Accessible to volunteers and part-time members
  - What else? 

===Proposed Solutions==
  * [[https://xigmanas.com|XigmaNAS]] for file storage
    * [[https://www.funtoo.org/ZFS_Fun|ZFS]] ("Z-File System") for redundancy and data integrity 
      * XigmaNAS web gui provides 99.9% of the functions necessary for admin
    * [[https://github.com/bolthole/zrep|ZREP]] for local backup to offsite drives
    * [[https://www.syncthing.net|Syncthing]] for data synchronization
    * Windows network file drive maps

  * [[https://www.dokuwiki.org|DokuWiki]] for project documentation
    * Storage as human-readable text files -- easy to backup
    * Editing History 
    * Access Control by page or namespace ("directory")
  * [[https://www.bookstackapp.com|BookStack]] wiki
    * MySQL storage
    * Editing history
    * Access control
