Bare Git Repository - . git.fripost.org:fripost-wiki.git - . | - . | - . Repository for Local Edits - . ~/git/fripost/wiki - . | - . | - . The Preview Ikiwiki Web Part - . ~/public_html/fripost-wiki-preview - -Where *~/git/fripost/wiki* is a local git repository with remote -tracking of the main bare wiki repository -*git.fripost.org:fripost-wiki.git*. I define an alias command for -recompilation of the local version of the. The local preview version is accessed -by pointing the browser to -*http\://localhost/~<name>/fripost-wiki-preview/*. - -First the basics. According to [Create a Wiki](/create-a-wiki) do the following: - -* Install and configure Git -* Install and configure Apache 2 -* Install Ikiwiki - -For the Ikiwiki configuration question, answer them as follows - - wikiname: fripost-wiki-preview - url: http://localhost/~<name>/lab-wiki - srcdir: ~/git/fripost/wiki - destdir: ~/public_html/fripost-wiki-preview - settings: ~/public_html/fripost-wiki-preview/wiki.setup - -Where *<name>* is the local user name and *~/git/fripost/wiki* is where the local wiki Git repository. This will generate a configuration file: *~/public_html/fripost-wiki-preview/wiki.setup*. Generate the first issue: - - $ ikiwiki --setup ~/public_html/fripost-wiki-preview/wiki.setup - -For to preview local edits, run: - - $ ikiwiki --setup ~/public_html/fripost-wiki-preview/wiki.setup --refresh - -and point your browser to *http\://localhost/~<name>/fripost-wiki-preview/*. - -You can also create an alias for to refresh the preview command. - - $ alias fripost-wiki-preview-refresh='ikiwiki -setup /home/gustav/lab-wiki/fripost-wiki.setup -refresh' - - -Public www locations (userdir) ------------------- - -For to be able to access `http://localhost/~user` the "userdir" -functionality is needed. For Nginx, put the following in e.g. -*/etc/nginx/sites-available/localhost*: - -``` -server { - location ~ ^/~(.+?)(/.*)?$ { - alias /home/$1/public_html$2; - index index.html index.htm - autoindex on; - } -} -``` - -Relative paths --------------- - -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 -sometimes be necessary. The best strategy is to edit your */etc/hosts* -table and make *fripost.org* and *wiki.fripost.org* point to -*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; - location /static { root /home/gustav/public_html/fripost-wiki; } - } - } - - # wiki.fripost.org - server { - server_name wiki.fripost.org; - location / { - root /home/gustav/public_html/fripost-wiki; - } - } - -You might experience strange effects from that the web-browser has -cached DNS information. Search Internet for how to flush your -browser's DNS cache. |
