NAME¶

didiwiki - simple wiki implementation with built-in webserver

SYNOPSIS¶

didiwiki [options]

DESCRIPTION¶

didiwiki is aimed at those who need a quick and lightweight wiki for personal use, such as notes, "to do" lists, etc. It is written in C, and has very low system requirements (binary size of ~25k stripped). This makes it particularly useful for handhelds. didiwiki does not require installation of a separate webserver, scripting language, or database.

The appearance of the wiki pages may be altered by placing a styles.css in ~/.didiwiki or in the directory specified using the --home option.

OPTIONS¶

-d, --debug

Start in debug mode. In this case, didiwiki will not bind to any IP address or port: it will only read the requests from standard input (stdin)

-h directory, --home=directory

By default didiwiki stores its pages in ~/.didiwiki. You can override this by specifying an alternative directory

-l ipaddr, --listen=ipaddr

By default didiwiki binds to "0.0.0.0". You can override this by specifying an alternative IP address

-p port, --port=port

By default didiwiki will listen on port 8000. You can override this by specifying an alternative port

--help

Display the help message

EXAMPLES¶

didiwiki uses syslog to log when it is launched or stopped, and when a page is accessed or modified. Here is an example configuration of rsyslog:

$ cat /etc/rsyslog.d/didiwiki.conf
local0.*    /var/log/didiwiki.log

In order to launch didiwiki on a specific IP and port:

$ didiwiki -l 127.0.0.1 -p 8080
