On our way home from #MarkupUK! We had a great time—inspiring talks, cool ideas, and great conversations. Huge thanks to the organizers for a top-notch event.

See you at #DeclarativeAmsterdam or next year at #XMLPrague! #eXistdb

Hey, fellow XML nerds & tag lovers!

If you happen to be at Markup UK in #London this week, and got questions about eXist-db, want to talk about XQuery, native XML databases, or just rant about trying to force hierarchies into SQL tables?

Juri and Duncan from the eXist-db core team will be in the house! Come say hi — we’d would be happy to talk 💬😄

New -slim images for duncdrum/existdb!🚀

Now available for 6.4.0+, these come without stockapps in /exist/autodeploy — perfect for minimal base images or lean XQuery-only setups.

All distroless variants have a -slim twin 🧱

e.g. duncdrum/existdb:6.4.0-nonroot-j8-slim

Hat jemand Erfahrung mit eXist-db und/oder Xquery? Ich suche nach einem Weg iterativ nach einem String in Dokumenten der Datenbank zu suchen und diesen zu ersetzen. #existdb

@_O and Martin Middel sending greetings to #existdb, #fore and @tei_publisher from the always sunny Amsterdam while pushing the boundaries of the internet at Declarative Amsterdam #DA2024 #AMSIX

Hallo, gibt es neben dem XML-Editor Oxygen noch weitere Tools/Software, die direkt auf die existdb zugreifen können?

🎙️ Join the @eeditiones community online talk by @turska tomorrow, Tuesday, Sep 3rd at 17:00 CEST.

Magda will demonstrate how @tei_publisher evolved from "just a" publishing tool to a robust editing platform and virtual research environment for the #digitalhumanities. The story starts long ago, with the inception of #TEI and, later, @wolfgangmm's work on #eXistdb. Come by to hear what @tei_publisher can do for your projects and where the journey leads. 🚀

Long story short: use more @TEIConsortium #TEIProcessingModel, @tei_publisher #OpenAPI and #eXistdb to future-proof your digital edition! #digitalhumanities

Am 10.6.2024 veranstaltet TELOTA im Rahmen von @Textplus wieder ein #ediarum Meetup. Es geht wie immer um #digitaleeditionen, #xml, #tei, #existdb und diesmal besonders um die Arbeit mit ediarum am @ZPD Würzburg und Workflows der Versionierung, mit GitHub und CI/CD.

Jetzt anmelden: https://dhd-blog.org/?p=21007

A message für euch #DigitalHumanities leute, die ihr an diesem Freitag abend ab 18 uhr in Berlin seid: im https://www.restaurant-nolle.de/ findet nämlich der von der unermüdlichen @anja_g_werder organisierte #dhberlin Stammtisch statt und ich finde, das ist eine gute Gelegenheit, um sich gemeinsam über themen wie #existdb, #tei, daten, Methoden und freien Themen auszutauschen. Klare Empfehlung: geht da mal hin!

I had the luxury to spend the entire #devurday hunting down two mysterious behaviours of #existdb that kept bugging me for three years now.

I am looking forward to write up those issues and a test and a PR for one.

#xst, the command line client for #existdb already got several updates since it’s initial release late last year. Thanks for the valuable feedback from the community.

A project I have been working on is finally released into the wild:
xst is a modern command line interface for #existdb

Docs: https://github.com/eXist-db/xst#readme

npm install --global @existdb/xst
