Islandora Enterprise (ISLE)

ISLE is a community developed project that supports a set of maintained Docker images that provide a fully functioning Islandora platform for development, staging, and production digital repositories. ISLE runs as set of Docker containers (similar to virtual machines) that will run all necessary components of Islandora. 

The ISLE documentation provides clear instructions on how to do the following types of installations and updates:

• Demo ISLE Site: quickly create a new Islandora platform on your laptop or workstation (also good for local development)

• New ISLE Site: create a new Islandora platform on a production, staging or development server (i.e., starting from scratch)

• Migrate to ISLE Site: migrate a (non-ISLE) Islandora 7.x platform to ISLE on a production, staging or development server

• Update ISLE Site: update your existing ISLE instance with improvements and security updates

ISLE releases monthly updates and posts Release Notes.
