This repository contains the source-code and data for the Scholarly Communication Technology Catalogue, developed by Antleaf for the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) as part of the Next Generation Libraries Project.
The development of this catalogue was funded by Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin.

If you are running in "production", you will need to supply environment variables in whatever manner is supported in your production environment.
In "development" or "test" environments, you have the option of using a .env file in the application root folder (the folder containing this README file). Create a file in this root folder called .env by copying .env_TEMPLATE

### REQUIRED - settings for SMTP mailer used for "forgotten password" feature and for user feedback feature
SCOMCAT_SMTP_HOST='smtp.gmail.com'
SCOMCAT_SMTP_PORT=587
SCOMCAT_SMTP_DOMAIN='example.com'
SCOMCAT_SMTP_USERNAME='[email protected]'
SCOMCAT_SMTP_PASSWORD=''
SCOMCAT_MAILER_FROM='[email protected]'The environment variables are necessary to configure the SMTP mailer used to:
- send "forgotten password" messages
- send user feedback to the editors
A GMail account works just fine for this - but you are advised to get an 'application password' for this account rather than using the user account's password.
