How to Use the NKSJA Demo Archive
Step 1 - Get a Solid Pod
Before you can contribute, you need your own Solid Pod (personal storage space). For the demo we are using our own self-hosted community server.
If you don’t have an account yet:
- Click the Login / Create Account button at the top of this page.
- On the Solid Community Server, click Sign Up.
- Fill in your details and click Register.
- On your account page, click Create Pod.
- Choose a name for your Pod (any name you like).
- Leave WebID as is for now.
- Click Create Pod.
- Click Back, then copy and save your Pod location and WebID (optional but recommended).
- Click Continue Authentication - you’ll be redirected back to the demo archive.
Access the NKSJA Demo Archive Dashboard
Step - 2 If you already have a Solid Pod (or after creating one above):
- Click Connect with Solid.
- Log in using your Solid account credentials.
- On the Solid consent page, click Authorize.
- You’ll be redirected back to the NKSJA Demo Archive dashboard.
Once connected, your Pod will be linked to the demo, and you’ll be able to upload and manage your contributions.
Upload Your Content in the user Dashboard
During the Demo, you can upload documents and images to your Pod for the archive (without need for archivist moderation).
- Update your profile.
- Create New Archive
- View/ Edit your archive
Your file is now stored in your Pod and linked to the NKSJA demo archive.
