Description: Research findings are often presented via web applications. However, once a project has ended, a lack of funding or maintenance frequently leads to problems with availability, IT security and data integrity. 

The repository system developed enables the long-term preservation and controlled deployment of dynamic web applications by encapsulating complete applications (including databases, plug-ins and configurations) within Docker containers. The Dockerised applications are managed via YAML files and kept in standby mode, and can be started and stopped as required. This reduces technical and organisational risks, lowers maintenance costs and ensures the long-term usability of digital research results.

The project is currently at the prototype stage.
