+title: Create a wiki preview
+...
+
+This article describes how to set up preview of Friposts wiki.
+
+**Table of contents**
+
+[[!toc]]
+
+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
+
+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
+will reside in *~/public_html/fripost-wiki*. Eventually it
+will be accessed by pointing the browser to
+*http\://fripost.localhost* and *http://wiki.fripost.localhost*
+respectively.
+
+Process overview:
+
+* Install and configure Git
+* Install and configure Apache 2
+* Install Ikiwiki
+
+Install and configure Git
+=========================
+
+Refer to [Git och Fripost](git_och_fripost) for installation
+instructions.
+
+You will need the following repositories:
+
+ * https://git.fripost.org/fripost-ansible
+ * https://git.fripost.org/fripost-wiki
+
+Clone with ssh if you want to edit, which will require you to provide
+a public key to Fripost administrators. Below snippets assume:
+
+    $ git clone https://git.fripost.org/fripost-ansible ~/git/fripost/ansible
+    $ git clone https://git.fripost.org/fripost-wiki ~/git/fripost/wiki
+
+Install and configure Ikiwiki and Pandoc
+========================================
+
+Refer to [ikiwiki setup](https://ikiwiki.info/setup/) at
+[ikiwiki's official website](https://ikiwiki.info) for initial
+install and configuration and
+[an article on Git](https://ikiwiki.info/rcs/git/) for more details on
+setting up Ikiwiki together with Git.
+
+Install packages referred to in the ansible configuration:
+
+    sudo aptitude install \
+      ikiwiki \
+      libauthen-passphrase-perl \
+      highlight-common libhighlight-perl libimage-magick-perl \
+      libmail-sendmail-perl libnet-dns-sec-perl \
+      fcgiwrap spawn-fcgi \
+      pandoc
+
+Copy Ikiwiki configuration from Fripost ansible repository:
+
+    mkdir -p ~/public_html/fripost-wiki ~/.ikiwiki 
+    cp -r ~/git/fripost/ansible/roles/wiki/files/var/lib/ikiwiki/* ~/.ikiwiki
+
+Modify the configuration *~/.ikiwkik/fripost-wiki.setup* according to:
+
+```
+adminemail: <your mail>
+adminuser:
+  - <your user>
+srcdir: <your home>/git/fripost/wiki/
+destdir: <your home>/public_html/fripost-wiki
+url: http://fripost.localhost/ # http://wiki.fripost.localhost/
+cgiurl: http://fripost.localhost/ikiwiki.cgi
+cgi_wrapper: <your home>/public_html/fripost-wiki/ikiwiki.cgi
