Hi, welcome to NETVN channel
In this video I will show you how to create your own Wiki page right on Windows operating system
To build my own wiki, I use DokuWiki
There are many ways to install DokuWiki but in this video I will show you how to install it on Docker Desktop
This is a simple way to do it and uses less computing resources
First you install WSL for your Windows computer
After installing wsl you will be asked to restart your computer
So you restart your computer to complete the installation of wsl
But Docker Desktop requires your computer to have wsl 2 installed so you should update wsl for your computer
After update you are asked to restart wsl, please follow that request
Next, you set wsl2 as the default on your computer
So you have installed wsl2 for your computer already
Next you install docker desktop for your Windows computer
You go to the docker homepage and download the installation file for Windows operating system
Just like other popular software, you only need a few clicks to complete the installation
After you have installed docker desktop, next you install dokuwiki on docker
You use the command above to install dokuwiki
You correct the time zone to match where you live before executing the above command
For this example I use port 83, you can choose another port if you want
It will take a few minutes to install dokuwiki
Now open any web browser and enter your computer's ip address and port 83 as set up in the previous step.
Here my computer ip address is 10.11.32.92
That way you will have your own Wiki page
Now we'll start editing it to our own liking
First you create a menu bar on the left next you access the cinema have been created
Next you access the sitemap and create a sidebar
I will create a wiki page on how to install dokuwiki on Windows operating system
You update your categories
Next, you create links to pages with corresponding content
On the linked pages, you create a new topic and update the content for that topic
Like here I create a guide for the steps needed to install dokuwiki on windows
You do the same with the remaining topics
You customize the headline, the right will automatically appear the table of contents
For wikis you always need a start page
Here I am going to create a simple start page so that every time you visit your wiki page, it is the first page that will appear
To make your wiki page more lively, you can add images
Beyond the basics of getting started with wikis, there's much more you can do to experiment and explore
In this short video, it is not possible to present all the great features of dokuwiki
In the next step I will show you how to access your wiki from anywhere over the internet
To do that, you forward the port on your router
Remember when we installed dokuwiki on docker we used port 83
So the private port will be 83 and the public port will be 80
Don't forget to set up a static ip address for your computer
Without a static ip address, your port forwarding will fail when your computer ip address is changed
As here I will forward the port to the ip address 10.11.32.92
Next is the domain name, I have prepared a free domain name of Duck DNS service
I also update my public ip address for that domain
If your public ip address is dynamic then you should install duck dns client on windows so that it automatically update public ip address for you
You can watch my previous videos or refer to duckdns homepage to know how to install duckdns client
With port forwarding and public ip-address updates for your domain, your wiki is ready to be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection
To manage the update of your wiki page content, you create an admin account
You use that admin account to assign permissions to users
Thank you for watching, good luck
