Koha Library Management System
DESCRIPTION
This VM is created for 2 reasons: 1. Very little initial setup work required to make a Library Management System live, within minutes. 2. This system should keep running for Years, without requiring Updates / Breakages.
If you are new to Virtual Machines, then please watch the Video below ( taken from my other project. just replace td with koha wherever mentioned )
After starting this VM, please access these websites ( Just Accept Any Warnings ) :
Public Website Address: https://koha.local
Staff Website Address: https://koha.local:4430
Staff Username: staff
Staff Password: change_this
from any PC on your Local Network.
For better performance, Increase the CPU Count & Memory in the VM's Settings, as available on the physical machine. Also, read the koha guidelines, given on the Wiki Page of this site, for choosing the right hardware resources.
Backup the system regularly, to avoid any issues, as in the video.
Google Search helps in finding more about Koha.
Features
- This system combines the power of a network library server, together with the beauty of a graphical desktop. Hence the large download file size ( ~ 2.8 GB ).
- The system level username & password is : System Username: koha System Password: change_this Also, have a look at the readme file on the desktop of the system, for any further details.
- This system will take about 5 minutes to start fully and reach the graphical desktop. So, please be patient.
- As this system is meant for local network usage, it uses a self-signed https certificate. Hence, browsers will throw a warning for the first time. Please accept the same and proceed ahead.
- If you like Koha ( as i did ), you can support its development efforts, by contributing as a sponsor on https://koha-community.org/
- A small correction in the Video below: Choose a LAN Card Network Adapter Connection in Virtualbox ( Not Wifi ), after connecting your PC to your Router / Switch, with a LAN Cable. If the Router / Switch has a DHCP Server enabled inside, then the Virtual Machine, will be able to obtain an IP Address from it, quickly.
