The UmbraXenu server, with $2.25 in change.

This is a guide to setting up a MediaWiki on a Raspberry Pi, eventually to include a disk image of a pre-configured setup.

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.

For initial configuration, the following will be needed:

  • USB keyboard.
  • Either HDMI or DVI monitor.
  • Monitor cable. Either mini-HDMI or mini-HDMI to DVI adapter cable.

Operating system

The Pi 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 lots of organized information, but it's not the only game in town.

TiddlyWiki / TiddlyWeb

WordPress
