dokuwiki setup notes
Also see notes on setting up Docker Dokuwiki container
dokuwiki backup
Back-ups placed here: '/media/disk1/KarlData/Karl Data 2/dokuwiki_backups/'
and named KPtreeWiki-backup_yyyy-mm-dd
.
e.g. sudo tar zcpfv '/media/disk1/KarlData/Karl Data 2/dokuwiki_backups/KptreeWiki-backup_20220710.tar.gz' /home/shared/www/dokuwiki
this backs up the entire directory.
dockuwiki cleanup
Maintenance and Automatic cleanup script has bash script to remove old files on the wikiserver.
To run the script sudo Myscripts/dokuwikicleanup.sh /home/shared/www/dokuwiki/data 300
dokuwiki VM setup
master dns setup
The master public dns needs to be setup to point to the appropriate ip addresses for wiki.kptree.net.
The ipv4 points to a common public ipv4 address and uses proxies to redirect to correct VMs, so all subdomains have same public address.
Each sub-domain can have an individual public ipv6 address if required and proxies are not required for ipv6.
I have been using Godaddy for my domain name provider. I have not been that happy with Godaddy for a number of reasons, however these reasons have not been sufficient to get me to move to another provider.
local dns setup
The local dns points to the local lan address that assists with hairpin nat on ipv4. Not necessary on ipv6 as assigned a global ipv6 address and nat not used. This means adjusting bind9 settings.
router setup
See the router specific set-up information sample_nftables_configuration.
Basically:
- The ipv4 address for specific ports need to have nat(network address translation) setup and forwarding setup.
- The ipv6 address as it is public only needs forwarding setup.
dokuwiki vm SSL certificate setup
I like the setup in workaround.org, specifically Creating a TLS encryption key and certificate. The nuance here is the need to first setup the VM and apache2, then bring it online. Once online the certificate can then be requested. After this the setup of the wiki (or other) VM apache server can be completed. When migrating the old server needs to be shutdown and is effectively disabled.
dokuwiki VM apache2 setup
The /etc/apache2/ports.conf
is the standard configuration allowing all ip address access to port 80 and if ssl_module port 443. No change required
As can be seen from the apache2 site setup files all the wiki html setup files are at the document root /mnt/shared/www/dokuwiki
.
dokuwiki ipv4 apache2 main VM server redirection
This only is required for the ipv4 shared public address as the ip6 public address is unique for the wiki sub-domain.
This is the part of the main domain apache2 configuration files, tl;dr;:
dokuwiki file ownership and permissions
Basically the required file permissions are as noted in Dokuwiki Installation instructions, Upgrading Dokuwiki, and Setting up file permissions.
sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /home/shared/www/dokuwiki
will make all the docuwiki files user and group owned by www-data that seems to simply function.

Notes:
- The markdowku Plugin does automatic inline markdown intepretation and display. Seems a bit buggy and affects regular dokuwiki syntax. I prefer to use the declared markdown option given by the Markdown Page Plugin.
