start your own local wiki farm

Step-by-step instructions for starting a local farm. We assume you are connected to the Net and already have some developer tools installed: git, docker, and docker-compose.

# 1. get the code

git clone https://github.com/dobbs/wiki-tls.git cd wiki-tls cp .env.example .env

# 2. create a volume

docker volume create wiki.localtest.me

# 3. launch the services

docker-compose up -d

# 4. find the password

docker-compose run --rm farm \ jq -r .admin .wiki/config.json

# 5. accept self-signed certificates

Visit https://localtest.me . You can expect a security warning from your web browser. The TLS proxy is configured with an auto-generated, self-signed certificate which the browsers do not trust.

# 6. first steps

The field guide to the federation is a fine place to start your wiki adventure. When you get to the part where you need to login, use the admin password you found in the configuration in step 4.

# 7. expand your farm

Visit https://homestead.localtest.me and notice that this is a new wiki, and already claimed by you, The Owner. Each name you choose becomes its own collection of hyper-linked pages. How the Wiki Farm Works
