NAME
ikiwiki - a wiki compiler
SYNOPSIS
ikiwiki [options] source destination
ikiwiki --setup configfile
DESCRIPTION
ikiwiki is a wiki compiler. It builds static html pages for a wiki, from
source in the [[MarkDown]] language, and writes it out to destination.
OPTIONS
Note that most options can be shortened to single letters, and boolean
flags such as --verbose can be negated with --no-verbose.
-
--wikiname
The name of the wiki, default is "wiki".
-
--verbose
Be vebose about what it's doing.
-
--rebuild
Force a rebuild of all pages.
-
--fixctime
Pull last changed time for all pages out of the revision control system.
This rarely used option provides a way to get the real creation times of
items in weblogs, for example when building a wiki from a new subversion
checkout. It is unoptimised and quite slow.
-
--templatedir
Specify the directory that the page [[templates]] are stored in.
Default is /usr/share/ikiwiki/templates.
-
--wrapper [file]
Generate a [[wrapper]] binary that is hardcoded to do action specified by
the other options, using the specified input files and destination
directory. The filename to use for the wrapper is optional.
The wrapper is designed to be safely made suid and be run by untrusted
users, as a [[Subversion]] [[post-commit]] hook, or as a [[CGI]].
Note that the generated wrapper will ignore all command line parameters.
-
--wrappermode mode
Specify a mode to chmod the wrapper to after creating it.
-
--svn, --nosvn
Enable or disable use of [[subversion]]. If subversion is enabled, the source directory is assumed to be a working copy, and is automatically updated before building the wiki.
In [[CGI]] mode, with subversion enabled pages edited via the web will be committed to subversion. Also, the [[RecentChanges]] link will be placed on pages.
Subversion is enabled by default.
-
--anonok, --noanonok
If anonok is set, it will allow anonymous web users, who have not signed in, to make changes to the wiki.
By default, anonymous users cannot edit the wiki.
-
--rss, --norss
If rss is set, ikiwiki will generate rss feeds for pages that inline
a blog.
-
--cgi
Enable [[CGI]] mode. In cgi mode ikiwiki runs as a cgi script, and supports editing pages, signing in, registration, and displaying [[RecentChanges]].
To use ikiwiki as a [[CGI]] program you need to use --wrapper to generate a wrapper. The wrapper will generally need to run suid 6755 to the user who owns the source and destination directories.
-
--url http://someurl/
Specifies the url to the wiki. This is a required parameter in [[CGI]] mode.
-
--cgiurl http://someurl/ikiwiki.cgi
Specifies the url to the ikiwiki [[CGI]] script [[wrapper]]. Required when building the wiki for links to the cgi script to be generated.
-
--historyurl http://svn.someurl/trunk/[[file]]?root=wiki
Specifies the url to link to for page history browsing. In the url,
"[[file]]" is replaced with the file to browse. It's common to use
[[ViewCVS]] for this.
-
--diffurl http://svn.someurl/trunk/[[file]]?root=wiki&r1=[[r1]]&r2=[[r2]]
Specifies the url to link to for a diff of changes to a page. In the url,
"[[file]]" is replaced with the file to browse, "[[r1]]" is the old
revision of the page, and "[[r2]]" is the new revision. It's common to use
[[ViewCVS]] for this.
-
--exclude regexp
Specifies a rexexp of source files to exclude from processing.
May be specified multiple times to add to exclude list.
-
--adminuser name
Specifies a username of a user who has the powers of a wiki admin.
Currently allows locking of any page, other powers may be added later.
May be specified multiple times for multiple admins.
-
--setup configfile
In setup mode, ikiwiki reads the config file, which is really a perl
program that can call ikiwiki internal functions. Uses of this are
various; the normal one is to automatically generate wrappers for a
wiki based on data in a config file.
Note that the wiki will be (re)built as part of the setup process to
ensure that any changes take effect.
[[ikiwiki.setup]] is an example of such a config file.
