Forum:Download the NetHackWiki
Hello!
It's now possible to download an XML dump of the articles on this wiki and the images, without resorting to scraping the site. The packages are updated once a week. --paxed (talk) 14:45, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Offline wiki
Thanks!
I sometimes play Nethack without Internet access on my old netbook and I'd like to have the wiki available offline. Is there a light-weight way of using this XML dump on Linux? Installing a local web server with Mediawiki and everything is not an option for a machine this old. Or would you rather recommend recursively wgetting the whole nethackwiki.com for offline browsing or something else? --88.115.0.97 16:09, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- I don't know the answer to your question per se, but honestly, people run nginx + MySQL + mediawiki on 128MB VPSes (I have). Of course, you can't support much concurrency that way and the MySQL is tuned way down but it doesn't take a lot to run MW for a single user. You could ask on vpsboard.com or lowendtalk.com for advice on running small instances. Hope that helps. Raindog308 (talk) 03:45, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
