Containerizing Digital Exhibits for Scalability and Sustainment

University of Texas (UT) libraries’ digital exhibits are collections of digitized or born-digital content that have been selected and organized around a clear, single focus for the purposes of highlighting and providing context for a larger UT libraries collection, serving in conjunction with physical exhibitions or campus events, showcasing original research by UT libraries staff about collections, and for pedagogical applications, including teaching collections and teaching guides. UT Libraries recently launched a new digital exhibits portal developed with Spotlight, Mirador/IIIF, and MySQL. Our deployment builds on prior work with these technologies via a containerized development workflow utilizing Docker to automate build, test, and deployment, which allows it to scale easily and provides a simplified path for future upgrades. Our site allows curators to publish exhibits at will, with no intervention required from IT and integrates seamlessly with our existing repository ecosystem.
