[[!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=> "",
        git_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",
        git_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.
