+Many links on the Fripost wiki are absolute. That means that you
+sometimes will not be able to follow homepage page and wiki page links
+between your local preview wiki. For testing purposes, that can

+*localhost*. Of course your web server need to be configured to serve
+those pages. This is my Nginx configuration:

+    # fripost.org
+    server {
+      server_name fripost.org;
+      location / {
+        root /home/gustav/public_html/fripost-wiki/website;
