Air-gapped media team looks for self-hosted project tools
A small media production team of 3 to 4 people runs three Windows workstations on an . Two machines have DaVinci Resolve Studio installed, and the third runs WSL, RHEL 9, and Docker for Windows to run a program in a container. Moving new software into the isolated network is difficult, so an open-source that an automatic scraper can fetch is the most practical path.
Licensing is also a constraint, so any added tool needs to be free and not require a separate license. The first need is a self-hosted project management system that can run in a on the third machine and be used by the other two workstations. Each media project needs fields such as customer, subject, location, event, , notes, and attachments.
and simple metrics would also help show where time is going and which customers have the most finished products. DaVinci Resolve projects currently live in separate local project databases on each workstation.
Key points
- The team needs tools that work inside an isolated .
- One workstation is acting as the Docker host for shared internal services.
- The project system needs customers, locations, events, s, notes, and attachments.
- and metrics are wanted for later workload analysis.
- Free software with no license burden and an open-source is preferred.
