lf-portal is available unter the terms of the GNU General Public License. See 'license' for more details.

User:

• Search in series and recordings
• List of all series
• View Recordings
• Authentication – access internal videos

Technology:

• Template based – easy design changes
• Simple Python based WSGI application
  • Flask as WSGI framework
  • Can be integrated into Apache, nginx, lighthttpd, gunicorn
• memcachd for fast, cached requests

Compatible with:

• Opencast Matterhorn 1.4.x
• Opencast Matterhorn 1.3.x (1)
• Lernfunk3
• Lernfunk2 (MH-Proxy)

Notice:

Matterhorn 1.3.1 has some major bugs in its search service which cause performance issues and also incorrect paging of the series pages. The use of memcachd reduces the effect of the performance related issues. Nevertheless, if possible, use Matterhorn 1.4.x. For details about problematic bugs in 1.3.1 have a look at: MH-9800, MH-9801, MH-9802

A demonstration and testing environment can be found at http://repo.virtuos.uos.de:5000/. It is running on a test VM and is deployed using Gunicorn with 4 worker processes.
