LoRes Mesh

Standalone Wikipedia mirror

testing

A Node Steward who has already set-up a Raspberry Pi can install the Kiwix app and run a mirror of Wikipedia (and other zim files if they like) using a USB flash drive for storage.

They have also been able to point a domain name at their node, by using a static IP address for their internet connection, and setting up port-forwarding on their router.

What success looks like

  • This website has documentation with clear instructions to setup a Kiwix using Co-op Cloud
  • This has been used to setup 3 nodes, each with a public URL that can be used to access the kiwix library, which includes wikipedia.

Current status

We are working on getting test nodes set up.
