To achieve to do that, we want to allow incremental update of ZIM files. This will greatly benefit many schools/other institutes in developing regions.

Once the project is finished, people will be able to get automatically incremental updates of their Wikipedia local copy. This project was thought up in order to provide an efficient and easy solution to update local copy of Wikipedia. This is quite cumbersome and/or impractical for a user with a slow Internet connection. As of now, users need to download the full database every time they need to update. Unfortunately, a feature that is missing is a proper update feature. Using Kiwix, with files in the ZIM format, it is possible to have a local copy of Wikipedia. Wikipedia has played a tremendous role in making the world's information available for free.

Find here below the end of the output given by -verbose (I put the end of the output where the errors start but it might be that only the very end is relevant in this case).Īny ideas on how to solve this one would be much appreciated. As a matter of fact, if one looks at the code sent to zimwriterfs there are 2 -welcome= arguments which seems odd and contradictory. I don't know how to give zimwriterfs a -welcome=Main_Page argument instead of the -welcome=Main_Page.html that appears in the error output. I tried typing Main_Page.html (as in instead of ) but the wiki does not find it. It seems it is looking for a Main_Page.html, whereas the wiki only has a Main_Page.

Mwoffliner -mwUrl= -verbose -redis=redis://127.0.0.1:6379 -mwWikiPath=/ -mwApiPath=api.phpĪccording to the error report, it is zimwriterfs (invoked by mwoffliner) that fails to find the welcome page at '. Find here below the command line I issued: I succeeded running the command-line and download an external Wiki (namely ts.), however when I tried to download my local wiki (hosted locally, inside Ubuntu 18.10) it ended in utter failure. Some programs were missing and I apparently managed to install all of them. I installed mwoffliner 1.6.0 as per these instructions in a Ubuntu 18.10 (cosmic, desktop edition).
