+
+Install and conifgure Nginx and host files
+==========================================
+
+Fripost uses [Nginx](http://nginx.org/en/docs/). For installation and
+configuration
+follow [Ikiwiki on Dot CGI](https://ikiwiki.info/tips/dot_cgi/). Note
+the alexjj comment that on Debian the package *fcgiwrap* automatically
+spwans the FastCGI program.
+
+ sudo apt install nginx
+
+The follwing will configure *http://wiki.fripost.localhost* and
+*http://fripost.localhost*:
+
+```
+cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/nginx/sites-available/localhost.fripost.conf
+server {
+ listen [::]:80;
+ listen *:80;
+ server_name fripost.localhost;
+ access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log.localhost.fripost.log;
+ error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log.localhost.fripost.log;
+ location / {
+ root $HOME/public_html/fripost-wiki/website;
+ location /static {
+ root $HOME/public_html/fripost-wiki;
+ }
+ }
+}
+
+server {
+ listen [::]:80;
+ listen *:80;
+ server_name wiki.fripost.localhost;
+ access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log.localhost.fripost.wiki.log;
+ error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log.localhost.fripost.wiki.log;
+ location / {
+ root $HOME/public_html/fripost-wiki;
+ }
+}
+EOF
+```
+
+Make available, test and install:
+
+```
+sudo ln -s -r -t /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ /etc/nginx/sites-available/localhost.fripost.conf
+sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl restart nginx.service
+```
+
+Modify host files:
+
+```
+cat <<EOF > /tmp/hosts
+
+# Fripost wiki preview setup
+127.0.1.1 wiki.fripost.localhost fripost.localhost
+::1 wiki.fripost.localhost fripost.localhost
+EOF
+grep -q wiki.fripost.localhost /etc/hosts \
+ || { sudo cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.bac_$(date +%Y%m%d) \
+ && sudo sed -i '$ r /tmp/hosts' /etc/hosts ; }
+```
+
+Alternatives to Nginx include Apache. Fripost wiki used include
+configuration for Apache, but these are not maintained any
+longer. Brows this repository history for sample configurations.
+
+Refresh wiki
+============
+
+Now all is in place! Visit <http://wiki.fripost.localhost>. Use the
+following commands to refresh or fully rebuild the wiki:
+
+```
+ikiwiki --setup ~/.ikiwiki/fripost-wiki.setup --refresh
+ikiwiki --setup ~/.ikiwiki/fripost-wiki.setup --rebuild
+```
+
+Happy hacking!
