Remember gopher? Ikiwiki can be served up by this venerable protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's pretty simple to get it going. Just install pygopherd or another gopher
|
|
|
|
|
server, and have ikiwiki put its pages where that server expects. For
|
|
|
|
|
pygopherd, it was in `/var/gopher`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When building the wiki, make sure to specify --no-usedirs (or equivilant in
|
|
|
|
|
the setup file). Gopher doesn't convert "foo/" links into
|
|
|
|
|
"foo/index.html", so usedirs won't work well with it; if usedirs is
|
|
|
|
|
disabled, browsing through the wiki via gopher will work just fine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since AFAIK gopher has no equivilant to CGI, you'll need to keep a
|
|
|
|
|
web server around for editing pages. If you do set up a cgi, make sure to
|
|
|
|
|
configure `url` to something like `gopher://hostname/h/`, so that it
|
|
|
|
|
links back properly to gopherspace from the CGI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One unresolved problem: Style sheets are not loaded. The urls seem ok, but
|
|
|
|
|
pygopherd seems to serve them in a form that doesn't work somehow. I have
|
|
|
|
|
not invesitaged more, because a fully unstyled web page fits the retro
|
|
|
|
|
gopher better anyhow.
