Dokuwiki

• dokuwiki runs on macqueen.us at dnsexit.com
• dokuwikiAndroid https://github.com/fabienli/DokuwikiAndroid

To save DokuWiki pages as .md files, you must use the MarkdownExtra plugin, 
as DokuWiki natively requires pages to have a .txt extension. 

Plugin Installation: Install the markdownextra plugin (available on GitHub or 
Bitbucket) to enable native Markdown parsing within DokuWiki. 

File Naming Convention: Save your files with a dual extension, specifically .md.txt 
(e.g., page.md.txt).  DokuWiki requires the .txt suffix to recognize the file as a 
valid wiki page, while the plugin uses the .md suffix to trigger Markdown parsing. 
Usage: Pages ending in .md are automatically parsed using PHP Markdown Extra.  You 
can also embed Markdown content in other pages using a specific markdown block.

Front Matter: The plugin supports front matter (text blocks delimited by ---) at 
the top of .md pages, which allows metadata to be placed outside the rendered HTML, 
enabling compatibility with plugins like tag. 

• Dokuwiki not a supported package in Synology DSM 7.
• Followed these directions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgB9aJ-fRzY) about installing a farm. Did not work.
• Copied this install to both macqueen.us/dokuwiki and allthatjas.us/dokuwiki and all was well.
• going to 10.0.0.124 in a web browser lands you in /volume1/web
• both wikis are dmmacq s1 u2
• wiki name is in conf/local.php

• Many many problems upgrading to current version.
• Current version wanted PHP 7.4
• On Diskstation, deleted all PHP versions < 7.4, and updated WebStaion to use PHP 7.4 and Apache to use 2.4
• Backed up old version to dokuwiki20231205.zip
• See https://www.dokuwiki.org/install:synology for changes needed to PHP
• Download and installed latest DW version.
• Created new start.txt page.
• Changed Directory for saving data option to point to /volume/synshare/web/macqueen.us/dokuwiki/data/pages

• Searched all drives for start.txt.
• Changed DW config option Reveal full path of pages in the footer to show full path of currently displayed file and found it in /volume1/web/dokuwiki/data/pages
• “find / -name start.txt” did not find it. had to use sudo.

• Executables are in /volume1/web/dokuwiki and are not backed up.
• This may not be true ^^^ but it works and I'm not fooling with it anymore right now.
• Data is in /volume/synshare/web/macqueen.us/dokuwiki/data/pages and does get backed up

• Dokuwiki lives in /etc, /usr/share/lib, and /var/lib.
• All of the above should be chown -R www-data.
• dokuwiki.php is the global config
• local.php is the local config override
• must change apache2.conf
• must install all of php5, so that there is a php5.conf file in apache
• Dokuwiki syntax
• how to backup dokuwiki
• to fix write errors, ssh to 192.168.1.17 (admin/lowell01), then cd to /volume1/synshare/web/macqueen.us/test/data, and do

  sudo chgrp -R http * and sudo chown -R http *
