DokuWiki Notes

notes about deployment, maintenance and troubleshooting of self-hosted DokuWiki instance.

Current deployment is a very rudimentary docker-compose stack using some old Bitnami image:

version: '3'
services:
  main:
    image: docker.io/bitnami/dokuwiki:latest
    ports:
      - '8051:8080'
      - '4051:8443'
    volumes:
      - 'data:/bitnami/dokuwiki'
      #- '/data/bitnami-dokuwiki_data:/bitnami/dokuwiki'
    networks:
      - internal
    restart: unless-stopped
#    labels:
#      - "com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=false"

volumes:
  data:
    driver: local
networks:
  internal:
    external:
      name: internal

There are several problems with this deployment:

• the official bitnami image is actually hosted at https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/dokuwiki/ - not sure where “docker.io/bitnami/dokuwiki:latest” came from
• no caching (not really an issue in this small instance, but adding redis cache may be a good idea
• local volumes - should at least save into a bind volume, or NFS mount on the host
