Kiwix-plug is a solution which provides a public Wifi hotspot allowing every person with a Wifi network card and a device to surf Wikipedia (or any content available as a ZIM file). Kiwix-plug is based on a small server call plug computer which is a computer as big as a fist and directly plugable on the power network. You can extend its wifi coverage by pluging additional wifi routers.
The first development of this solution is granted by Wikimédia France in the scope of the Afripedia project.
Usage
The whole readme explaining how to setup a kiwix-plug can be found here.
Supported hardware
Contact us if you want that we support other models of plug computers.
Todo
- Localize kiwix-serve (C++, Perl)
- Fix awstats subpages (bash, conf)
- Add license to all articles (footer) (Perl, PHP)
- Fix categories which are big (too big pages, not all articles are there) (PHP)
- Add HTTPs support to kiwix-serve or at least to kiwix-plug (nginx) (C++ or/and conf)
- Add Piratebox mode (bash, conf)
- Replace mlabel by mkdosfs (bash)
- Plug too slow to boot (bash, conf). Fixed it by changing bootcmd in uBoot. Now boots in less than 3mn. Fixed on all 21 plugs. Need documentation and implementation in kiwix-plug.
- Nouvelle version du ZIM Wikipédia (Kiwix, openZIM, bash)
- ZIM du Wiktionnaire (Kiwix, openZIM, bash)
- ZIM de WikiSource (tres demandé)
- ZIM de Gutenberg (script)
- Document Plug-like server config of Nginx+Kiwix-serve here
- Improved suggestion system (better handling case and accents)
Archives
- First grant request (Internews) (failed)
- Second grant request (Wikimédia france) (successful)
- Technical configuration of the first prototype
