Set up wiki with good backup #5

Open imrehg opened 8 years ago

imrehg commented 8 years ago

Currently set up a Media on the server, and it works, could keep that, if we'd developed a suitable backup mechanism.

On the other hand, thinking about changing that (early as there are not that many pages yet). The reason is to enable git-based storage, meaning we would get easy automatic backup for the wiki. I think it's possible with DokuWiki, the wiki software we used last time, just not in this setup. The function is provided through a plugin, and need to be checked. Basically this would enable us to essentially lose the server (if something happens) but not lose wiki data.

For a git-based wiki there is https://github.com/gollum/gollum which is used by github, much simpler than dokuwiki I think.

I'm using Dokuwiki for a project, and it's pretty good so far, extensible, and so on. PHP is already set up, so that's not a problem. For Gollum (or similar ones like Realms) we'd need other stuff, like Ruby (or Node.js). That's not a problem necessarily, just more complex in a different way.

I'd think this could be a great topic for a bit of hacking gettogether. :)
