+Taking the [[Create a Wiki|create-a-wiki]] article as a starting point, this article describes how to set up preview of Friposts wiki.
+
+The basic idea is something like the following:
+
+    .         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*. A command will cause a local compiled version to be created, that 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'
