A webservice and Docker image for minting NOIDs
- NOID: Nice Opaque IDentifier (minter and name resolver)
- NOID CPAN module
- CRKN's Name Assigning Authority Number (NAAN) is 69429 (See: NAAN Registry)
- This is used as part of an Archival Resource Key (ARK)
You will want to specify a volume for the container directory /noid/dbs; this is where the noid databases will be stored.
If you need to change the default config, you can find consulted environment variables at the top of minter.psgi.
Mints noids. :number is the number of noids you want, and :type can be one of collection, collections, manifest, manifests, canvas, canvases. e.g. POST /mint/5/canvases. It's a valid English sentence, and you'll get back results that look like:
"ids": [
"69429/c0...",
"69429/c0...",
"69429/c0...",
"69429/c0...",
"69429/c0..."
]
If something messes up a useful error message will hopefully be generated.
