What is Hyrax?

Hyrax is a Ruby on Rails Engine built by the Samvera community. Hyrax provides a foundation for creating many different digital repository applications.

Note: As a Rails Engine, Hyrax is not a web application. To build your digital repository using Hyrax you must mount the Hyrax engine within a Rails application. We call an application that mounts Hyrax a "Hyrax-based application" (or sometimes a "Hyrax Application").

Hyrax offers the ability to:

  • Create repository object types on demand
  • Deposit content via multiple configurable workflows
  • Describe content with flexible metadata
  • Enable/disable optional features via an administrative dashboard
  • And more (https://hyrax.samvera.org/about/)

Getting Help and Asking Questions

More detailed documentation about Hyrax is available on the Hyrax Github Wiki but if you have questions or need help, please email the Samvera community tech list or stop by the #dev channel in the Samvera community Slack team. You can also get in touch with the Hyrax Maintenance Working Group, including the Hyrax Product Owner and Hyrax Tech Lead.
