This is a guide to setting up a MediaWiki on a Raspberry Pi.
Parts needed
- Raspberry Pi - Model B.
- SD Card, at least 4GB.
- USB drive or stick.
- Powered USB hub.
- A router between the Internet and your LAN.
Operating system
Bare-bones, the Pi only has a bootstrap loader that will try to load an OS from the SD Card. In this case, it will be the Raspbian version of the Debian distro of Linux.
Raising up a LAMP
LAMP stands for Linux Apache MySQL PHP (mainly). It's the "solution stack" needed for most web-based applications.
That's how I role
It's a matter of style
Getting the show on the road
Once the MediaWiki is running and configured on your LAN, and has enough content, it's time to make it available. (If you want to. If it's a local in-house Wiki, you're done!)
Poking a hole through the router
DNS
Bots and bad actors
As soon as your Wiki is on the Internet, the bots and script-kiddies will come calling.
Other options
MediaWiki is powerful and quite useful for presenting information, but it's not the only game in town.
TiddlyWiki / TiddlyWeb
WordPress
