I want to make a wiki for me & my friends to document our practice, research and projects!

To do:

• Host a server on an old smartphone
• Choose & install wiki software

Manetta gave me some links to look into:

• Ikiwiki
• Docuwiki

Installing ikiwiki on an old phone using termux

The phone I'm using to host the server! #permacomputing

The phone I am using is a Samsung Galaxy A51 from 2020. I gave it a Star Trek wallpaper :)

Installing Termux

I followed the steps detailed in the comphosting workshop tutorial and didn't run into any issues.

Installing Ikiwiki on Termux from source

Wanting to start the installation of ikiwiki, the first issue I ran into was that Termux does not use a package manager like Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora, and has a different file system compared to other Linux distro's due to it using the Android phone's files as a base.

As a solution, I first tried to download and compile ikiwiki from source, following the instructions on the wiki.

• Installed Perl
• Installed all the dependencies

Tried to install ikiwiki but it says the dependencies are missing…
