+[[!meta title="Laptop Ikiwiki extended"]]
+
+I have (at least) three different hosts, `laptop`, `gitserver`, and `webserver`.
+
+1. I started by following [[/tips/laptop_wiki_with_git]] to create
+a bare repo on `gitserver`, and clone that to a workingdir on gitserver.
+
+ On the laptop clone gitserver:repo /working/dir
+
+ Next create a setup file for the laptop with
+
+ gitorigin_branch=> "",
+ wrapper => "/working/dir/.git/hooks/post-commit",
+
+ At this point, assuming you followed page above, and not my hasty summary,
+
+ git commit -a
+
+ should rebuild the output of your wiki.
+
+2. Now create a setup file for the server (I call it server.setup).
+
+ gitorigin_branch=> "origin",
+ wrapper => "/repo/wiki.git/hooks/post-update.ikiwiki"
+
+ Note the non-standard and bizzare name of the hook.
+
+ edit /repo/wiki.git/hooks/post-update so that it looks something like
+
+ /repo/wiki.git/hooks/post-update.ikiwiki
+ rsync -cavz /home/me/public_html/* webserver:/destdir
+
+ Run
+
+ ikiwiki --setup server.setup
+
+Now in principle when you run git push on the laptop, the git server will
+first do its "regular" thing and update ~/public_html (in my case) and
+then rsync it onto the webserver. For this to work, you need passwordless
+ssh or something like it.
