- dokuwiki runs on macqueen.us at dnsexit.com
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
- Copied older data/pages/*.txt files to that directory, but no change.
- 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.
- Final change was option Use fully canonical URLs
- Copied older plugins only if not newer
- 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
- 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 *
- there is a backup plugin that writes to /volume1/synshare/web/dokuwiki/data/media/wiki/backup
- there is an update plugin that works
