An experimental repo that uses cantaloupe as a standalone IIIF server ontop of Internet Archive files.

The Demo

To run the containers:

docker-compose up -d

And now hit any image! For example, given a URL like: https://archive.org/download/goodytwoshoes00newyiala/goodytwoshoes00newyiala_jp2.zip/goodytwoshoes00newyiala_jp2/goodytwoshoes00newyiala_0001.jp2 , you can get it via cantaloupe using:

How it works

In the settings, all we needed was to change the HttpSource.BasicLookupStrategy.url_prefix to point to the Internet Archive.

HttpSource.BasicLookupStrategy.url_prefix = http://archive.org/download/

Cantaloupe has a number of options for caching, but we are using the file system cache. Redis is also an option.
