request: kiwix service?

[nico202]

Issue description

Kiwix is already in nixpkgs. It provides a web service (available by calling kiwix-serve). It would be nice to have it as a systemd service

@robbinch: do you have time? I might do this but this would be my service, if you are experienced and have time it would be wonderful, else I'll try myself

Thanks, Nicolò

Please go ahead! Sadly, I can't spend as much time as I would like on this nowadays.

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.

the kiwix package in nixpkgs doesn't provide kiwix-serve -- only kiwix-desktop. see the above kiwix-tools PR if you want to use kiwix-serve.

i have kiwix-serve deployed experimentally to https://w.uninsane.org/. the module i use to create the kiwix-serve service is viewable here: https://git.uninsane.org/colin/nix-files/src/branch/master/modules/services/kiwix-serve.nix.

if anyone wants to use this as a starting point for a nixos module, be my guest. should be pretty easy to lift it out of there, as it doesn't even reference anything else in my flake ATM. i'd do it now, but i'd have to learn about systemd hardening and stuff before i'd be comfortable upstreaming any new service.
