#kiwix — Public Fediverse posts

My blog to ZIM file conversion is ongoing - it's a bit too manual right now but that's short term while I clear the backlog.

It's also given me time to reread early content and I'm quite surprised by the unintended prescience of some postings. For instance, my April Fool joke in 2016 about the UK Government bringing in a mandatory "Physical Key Escrow" in which home owners/occupiers are required to supply a physical copy of their dwelling door key to The Authorities.

Once I've done the migration I'll crack on with writing more - the dark nights and mornings are approaching and there'll be no excuse not to :)

Anyway .. https://petergarner.net/notes.php?thisnote=20160401-Physical+Key+Escrow+system.html

A date, sur mon #NAS, les stacks déployées (par ordre d'utilisation) sont :
- #freshrss bien sûr, que je consulte tellement de fois par jour
- #immich pour sauvegarder mes photos depuis mon tel
- #jellyfin comme mediacenter
- ...branché sur #yamtrack
- #readeck pour sauvegarder mes "à lire plus tard"
- #dockhand pour évaluer si ça peut remplacer #portainer sur le futur #homelab
-
- #komga pour lire des comics (qui a récemment remplacé #kavita )
- booklore, pour remplacer calibre. En sync avec ma #kobo c'est hyper pratique
- #stashapp (oui, je suis honnête)
- #kiwix euh... parce que.
...

with all the uncertainty,
considering data sovereignty,
an inspiring post came along yesterday
https://cloudisland.nz/@PetraOleum/114374487979471009

detailed blog
https://petras.space/blog/2025/kiwix.html

so I installed #kiwix and downloaded most valued libraries,
with all the #salami infestation at search machines having documentation local makes me happy 🥰
speed up search
speed up browsing
reduces network traffic
and will safe energy
😊
demanding moderate local storage
#GoOffline equals #LiberateYourself
🖖

Spent the morning yesterday learning about #ngnix reverse proxy, #TLS self-signed certificates, and DH.

Some of my zim libraries needed HTTPS for service workers on my #kiwix server. My setup is admittedly a bit hacky, but it works! Since it will only ever run on my LAN, I set up local DNS records in #PiHole to point to the server, and NGINX to redirect to the proper port.

Now with everything set up, I can type the domain, and everything "just works" instead of typing in an IP:port number like I've been doing.

I still have a lot to learn, but it's been fun building this home network from the ground up! Just wanted to share here with Fedi friends because my wife has no idea what I'm talking about and just asks me to stop :stallman:
