About

what is ikiwiki?

Installation on Debian

NOTE:

where $WIKI put the name of your wiki

where $USER put the name of the local user

sudo apt install ikiwiki

make sure you also have librpc-xml-perl and python-docutils

Setup [1]

You run the following command:

ikiwiki --setup /etc/ikiwiki/auto.setup

If you get this error:

/etc/ikiwiki/auto.setup: Only one Term::ReadLine::Gnu instance is allowed. at /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki/Setup/Automator.pm line 17.

then add PERL_RL=Perl before ikiwiki [2]

you will then get a series of prompts:

What will the wiki be named? $WIKI
What revision control system to use? git
What wiki user (or openid) will be admin? $USER
Choose a password:
ikiwiki edit flow

Variables

Two important variables in the ikiwiki universe are $srcdir, the source directory, and $destdir, the destination directory.


You make changes in $srcdir only! Ikiwiki does the rest.


by default, your $srcdir is /home/$USER/$WIKI/

and your $destdir is /home/$USER/public_html/$WIKI

Making your ikiwiki public with nginx

heh

Ikiwiki under a subdomain

heh

Editing the wiki

customizing CSS

add local.css in the git folder /home/$USER/$WIKI/

that way you can fully customize your wiki!
