DokuWiki on Ubuntu 24.04

Automated Bash installer for the latest stable DokuWiki on Ubuntu 24.04, configured for Nginx + PHP-FPM.

This deploys a production-ready wiki, not a classroom demo.
Clean config, isolated site directory, post-install hardening included.

Requirements

You must already have:

✔ Nginx installed
✔ PHP-FPM running

If not, start here:
https://git.x-files.dk/webserver/nginx-ubuntu

1. Download

git clone https://git.x-files.dk/webapps/dokuwiki-ubuntu.git

cd dokuwiki-ubuntu

2. Install

sudo ./dokuwikiinstall <domain>

Example:

sudo ./dokuwikiinstall wiki.example.com

Generated paths:

File/Dir	Purpose
`/var/www/<domain>`	DokuWiki installation
`/etc/nginx/conf.d/<domain>.conf`	Virtualhost
`/tmp/dokuwiki-postinstall`	Hardening script

3. Web Setup

Visit:

http://<domain>/install.php

Create admin + finish setup.

4. Post‑Install Hardening

sudo /tmp/dokuwiki-postinstall

This script:

✔ Removes installer
✔ Secures permissions
✔ Applies sane defaults
✔ Makes the wiki production‑safe

HTTPS

Enable TLS with:

https://git.x-files.dk/webserver/nginx-snippets/src/branch/main/hostfiles/dokuwiki.443.conf

Optional caching (disabled by default):

# include /etc/nginx/nginx-snippets/cache-open-files.conf;
# include /etc/nginx/nginx-snippets/cache-statics.conf;
# include /etc/nginx/nginx-snippets/cache-js-css.conf;

Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Fix
Nginx restart fails	Config syntax	`nginx -t`
PHP errors	Wrong FPM version	`systemctl status php8.3-fpm`
install.php still present	Postinstall not run	`sudo /tmp/dokuwiki-postinstall`
