offspot / kiwix-plug Goto Github PK

I'm trying to use kiwix-plug on a Raspberry Pi that's already providing other services and is plugged into a switch. So basically I want a system just like kiwix-plug but without the WiFi hotspot thing.
Can you give me some pointers on how to do this?
I'm having a hard time compiling kiwix-serve because I'm getting some cryptic compilation errors. I can provide those on demand.
Thanks!

SD might have a RO hardware switch. This should work even if this switch is "on". Might be a solution to increase SD card life time too...

If the data is available on a amovible flash drive then unplug it should stop the service and plugging it should restart it. This should allow to change the content without restarting the whole OS. Seb had done something (this attachment in the past) but after testing this still need to be fixed.

Hi - first - thanks SO MUCH for all the work on Kiwix. It's a brilliant idea, exceedingly well executed.

Just wondering, the end of setup_raspberrypi_sd.sh uses dd to copy the raspbian image to the sd card called $DEVICE - but it then proceeds to try to format the rest of the device /dev/sdb{1,4}. If you're running all this on a standalone linux box, sdb might not be the device you want, surely?

I'm likely missing something, but I'd have thought some variant of $DEVICE would be more appropriate than /dev/sdb?

Thanks though!

If the URL given has a complex path then the CSS/pictures seem to be not loaded correctly.

When reading ZIM files from a plug, clicking on them leads back to home page or error message. Lots of pages on Wiktionary and wikivoyage have ext. links, it really makes for a bad UX.

Same thing for Openstreetmap in Wikivoyage - box does not show map but frame with error message (unsightly)

Possible solution: change external links to nolinks, eg. similar to what there is for non-article space internal links
