NFDI-MatWerk Zenodo Uploader¶

A guided, browser-based upload wizard for publishing research datasets to the nfdi-matwerk Zenodo community.

What is this?¶

The NFDI-MatWerk Zenodo Uploader is a self-hosted web application that lets researchers:

Sign in with an existing Zenodo account (OAuth 2.0 — no separate password)
Fill in metadata through a 5-step wizard (title, creators, keywords, license …)
Upload files (up to 100 files / 50 GB per deposit) with real-time progress
Publish directly to the nfdi-matwerk Zenodo community with a reserved DOI

Zero data storage

Uploaded files are streamed straight to Zenodo's API. Nothing is written to the server's disk — the application is completely stateless with respect to research data.

Quick start¶

git clone https://github.com/ebrahimnorouzi/nfdi-matwerk-zenodo-uploader
cd nfdi-matwerk-zenodo-uploader
cp .env.example .env   # fill in ZENODO_CLIENT_ID + ZENODO_CLIENT_SECRET
docker compose up -d
