Add additional ZIM files with no XML file?

[mad2moons]

Downloaded 'kiwix tools' and extracted to:

/usr/local/bin

Moved main wikipedia ZIM file to /media/mynewdrive/

Created a kiwix.service file nano /etc/systemd/system/kiwix.service

[Unit] Description=Kiwix Service After=network.target

[Service] Type=simple User=root Group=root ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/kiwix-serve /media/mynewdrive/wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2020-11.zim -p 8080 Restart=always RestartSec=3

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

---

sudo systemctl enable kiwix sudo systemctl start kiwix

http://localhost:8080/

and wikipedia works fine. I wish to be able to add other ZIM files so that i have a choice on main served webpage. I have tried various solutions to add other ZIM files but there is no .xml file. The service file will not let me add any other ZIM files, it just ignore them.

I've looked through the documentation and cannot find anything on how to have multiple ZIMs running at once.

You can specify several zim file from the command line kiwix-serve foo.zim bar.zim -p 8080. Or you can generate a xml using kiwix-manage (kiwix-manage mylib.xml add foo.zim) and pass the library to kiwix-serve (kiwix-serve -l mylib.xml -p 8080)
