Dokuwiki install script for Ubuntu 22.04 server

Prerequisites

An Ubuntu 22.04 server with Nginx and Php-Fpm as well as MariaDB.
Nginx with Php-Fpm can be installed from [Here] and MariaDB can be install from [Here]

Download the script

git clone https://git.x-files.dk/ubuntu-server-apps/dokuwiki-install.git

Usage

cd dokuwiki-install
sudo ./dokuwikiinstall <domain name>

Example

sudo ./dokuwikiinstall wiki.something.xyz

This will create a Dokuwiki site running on port 80 with the domain name you chose under the installation. Don't worry though this can easily be fixed by modifying the Nginx configuration later. If you need an example on how to configure Nginx to run this on port 443 I an example [Here]

Configuration

Once the script is done browse to http://wiki.hostname.xyz/install.php and fill out the mandatory fields marked with green.

Post install

This is needed in order to change some configuration settings in Nginx after you are done with the setup screen.

cd dokuwiki-install
sudo ./postinstall

Troubleshooting

Most issues will probably be caused by the fact that we all set up and configure Nginx diffrently. If you encounter problems I would suggest you look at the Nginx configuration I use [Here] and also the default "sites-enabled" Nginx configurarion I use [Here] when you start troubleshooting.
