I would like my wiki to be mirrored by my hoster (nearlyfreespeech) so I can browse and edit it on the go as well as have an offsite backup of it if my laptop should ever die. In the last three hours I figured out that: + +1. I need to install ikiwiki on my nearlyfreespeech site +2. I need to create a remote for my local repository on my nfs site. +3. I need to setup ikiwiki on nfs +4. I need to mirror/sync continously my local laptop repo with the main repo on my server (probably through the remote) + +So far I figured out parts of this plan. My status quo is the following: + +- laptop: + - srcdir: ~/wiki + - destdir: ~/sites/wiki (this shouldn't matter since it points to my local webserver setup) + - repository: ~/wiki.git +- nfs: + - srcdir: /home/private/wiki + - destdir: /home/public + - repository: /home/private/2wiki.git + - remote repository: /home/private/wiki.git (configured as a remote named "nfswiki" on my laptop) + +On my laptop I can now go into ~/wiki, edit some files and afterwards can invoke ikiwiki --setup ~/wiki.setup which will generate a local version of my site for me. If I want to update my server copy, I can go into ~/wiki do git add ., git commit -m "Update", git push nfswiki master (which I hope is the correct way of doing things???). Afterwards I should have a (bare) repo on my nfs server with the same contents as my local (bare) repo, since I setup my remote with my local (bare) repo, which gets updated whenever I update my working copy (= srcdir). + +On my server I have installed ikiwiki more or less as described [here](https://ikiwiki.info/tips/nearlyfreespeech/). I setup this wiki by using the auto.setup method. It works. I basically have an empty wiki waiting to be filled. + +But how do I now create the plumbing necessary to let me… + +- connect the remote of my laptop repo to the nfs repo? +- connect the nfs repo to the laptop repo through my remote? +- edit either wiki (local/nfs) and the changes get synced to both wikis? + +Here my sparse understanding (which is still a generous way to put it) of git is simply not enough. + +Pages I have checked out: + +- [nearlyfreespeech](https://ikiwiki.info/tips/nearlyfreespeech/) +- [distributed wikis](https://ikiwiki.info/tips/distributed_wikis/) +- [laptop wiki with git](https://ikiwiki.info/tips/laptop_wiki_with_git/) +- [byhand](https://ikiwiki.info/setup/byhand/) +- [setup](https://ikiwiki.info/setup/) + +I'm very very thankful for any suggestions, since I have myself commited to solve any problems (and at least kinda understand what is involved here) to make this work at least to a degree that I can replicate the results in similar situations. + +Thanks for reading and for any tips that you can offer towards making me understand this admittedly complicated and involved question. |
