We are open to using any SSH login provided. Or we can share a secure link to download Cristobal's public SSH key than can be installed on the Linux server.

Hi guys, when can we have a Zoom call to check in?

Christopher B 8/27/25, 12:32:03 PM EDT

How goes it? Lets try and get that server upgraded soon.

Roland V 8/27/25, 6:03:25 PM EDT

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for the reminder. The earlier upgrade funding window closed but I'm trying to find someone who is willing to take on the work. I've reached out and hope to have a response soon. Let's touch base in one week?

Hi Christopher,

Roland V 9/3/25, 2:22:46 PM EDT

Hello, I was able to bring another member of the EILab team into this project.
I'm adding Zikun Fu, a Master of CS student to the team. Sash is no longer working on this project. Zikun will be able to complete the necessary work to upgrade the EILab DAM.
I wonder if we can set up a meeting of this group to review the workflow. To reiterate, we will be upgrading the eMedia software to the latest version by creating a new instance of a VM or equivalent on one of the EILab servers here at OTU. The VM will be running the lastest version of Ubuntu and the eMedia software will be installed in a Docker container. Once the software is installed and tested, we will export the db from the current version at https://emediaprod.eilab.ca to the new instance.

Can we set up a meeting for the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 12? I have some time available between 1 and 3pm ET. Thanks.

Christopher B 9/4/25, 12:23:45 PM EDT

Yes for sure! We did not notice the chats till now. We will send a meeting notice. Also want to show off some of the AI tools when you have time: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-categorization-everyone-emedialibrary-gqh0e

Hello, I just sent the invitation to the meeting, please share the link with any other person in your side that needs to attend the meeting, thank you.

Zikun F 9/5/25, 2:40:41 PM EDT

Good afternoon Christopher,

My name is Zikun Fu from the EILab team to support the upgrade of the eMedia system.

Could you please confirm the version number of the currently deployed system at https://emediaprod.eilab.ca? This will help me with preparation for the upgrade.

I look forward to collaborating with you on this project and seeing you at the upcoming meeting.

Best regards,
Zikun Fu

Hello, in the app in the browser you need to navigate to Server, then in the right there is a "Versions" tab, there you will find wich server's library are running, search for the main file: XX_entermedia-server-Y-YY.jar (Y-YY is usually the release version number), please let me know if you are able to find it.

Zikun F 9/5/25, 5:07:09 PM EDT

I tried checking under the following locations, but I wasn’t able to find a version tag:

/assets/mediadb (MediaDB API)
/assets/emshare (EM Share)
/manager/ (Catalog Administration)

Cristobal M 9/5/25, 5:09:50 PM EDT

let me try to guess the url, please try: https://emediaprod.eilab.ca/assets/emshare/views/settings/status/version/index.html

Cristobal M 9/5/25, 5:10:57 PM EDT

I dont have any user to log in so I had to gues :)

Zikun F 9/5/25, 5:17:49 PM EDT

Found it, the version is EnterMedia 9.2483. Thanks!

Christopher B 9/11/25, 3:58:20 PM EDT

Looking forward to meeting tomorrow. Lots to talk about and features to show.
