Kiwix-plug use exfat to store the data... and as a consequence untar the Wikfundi data complains:

$ tar -m --no-same-permissions --no-same-owner -xf ../cache/mediawiki_data_en_2018-06.tar.bz2

So, we need to find a way to tell to Mediawiki to write filenames without special characters

I have open a ticket here https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T199140

@rgaudin I guess we have to rename the pictures with this problem and there fore there is nothing more we can do here, right?

rgaudin commented 2 years ago

The upstream bug is clear and is not resolved so the workarounds are the ones listed in https://github.com/offspot/kiwix-hotspot/issues/628.

Fixing filenames in the wikifundi instance so that we produce a safe archive is more work but is what we want ; yes. Option D is faster to implement but it's a deployed workaround.

Lets live with the manuel renaming workaround in Wikifunidi (rename file + rewrite wikicode) or deleting them (option B), I don't really think this is worth investigating more energy in something more sophisticated.
