title: Create a fresh laboratory Ikiwiki install
...

*DRAFT! The article [Create a wiki](create-a-wiki) describes an
outdated configuration of a fresh Ikiwiki install for laboratory
purposes. This page is a stab on updating that configuration and
guide. The update is not finished yet.*

This guide has the history in attempts of the authors to understand
how Ikiwiki is setup in order to write
the [Create a Fripost wiki preview](/create-a-wiki-preview). The case
is useful for those that want to create an fresh Ikiwiki install for
other purposes, taking Fripost's as a starting point or for those that
need a safe sandbox lab environment to really hack away.

A setup according to [creation of a preview](/create-a-wiki-preview)
presumed for preparation of all components.

What we have in mind is to access the wiki, call it Lab wiki, through
*http://wiki.lab.localhost` for web editing and
`~/lab-wiki/wiki-slave` for local offline editing.

It should be noted that what is described here probably is a perfectly
_unsafe_ usage of a web server. Make sure that the computer does not
except requests from Internet.
