Description

## DokuWiki by cloudimg

DokuWiki is a simple, standards-compliant wiki aimed at documentation, knowledge bases, intranets and team collaboration. Its defining feature is that it stores everything - pages, page history, uploaded media, metadata and the full-text search index - as plain files on disk, so there is no database server to install, tune or back up. This Amazon Machine Image delivers DokuWiki fully installed and running behind an nginx web server with php-fpm, so a working wiki is serving within minutes of launch.

## Application Stack

DokuWiki runs as a PHP application: nginx answers on port 80 and passes requests to php-fpm over a local socket, and DokuWiki reads and writes its content directly on a dedicated data disk. A single storage directory holds the pages, media, metadata, cache and search index, and it lives on its own independently resizable data volume kept separate from the operating system disk. systemd starts nginx and php-fpm on boot and restarts them on failure.

## Content Management

Create and edit pages with a lightweight markup syntax and a built-in toolbar, organise them into namespaces, and upload images through the media manager. Full-text search and automatic indexing make content easy to find, every edit is versioned so you can compare revisions and roll back, and a large ecosystem of plugins and templates lets you extend the wiki. Access control lists govern who can read, edit, create and upload in each namespace.

## Secure First Boot

On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh administrator password unique to that instance, seeds the DokuWiki admin account, and writes the password to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.

## Ready To Use

Open the wiki, read the generated credentials, sign in as admin, and start writing or importing pages straight away. Access control and the plugin manager are available from the admin area, and a built-in health endpoint answers on the web server for load-balancer checks.
