Question regarding usage of this container.

It seems this container comes with a SQlight DB already set up. However the documentation of Wiki.js actually advised not to use SQlight and use PostegrSQL instead.  In fact it mentions:

 

Quote

 

These engines (MySQL, MariaDB, MS SQL Server and SQLite) may not be supported in the next major version of Wiki.js. Make sure you understand the implications of migrating your database to PostgreSQL if you plan on upgrading to 3.x+ in the coming years.

SQLite is not recommended for production deployments.

 

 

 

So the question is, does this container support the use of other DB back-ends? And if yes, does it use the environment variables mentioned in the official documentation or does it work differently?

Another reason to use PostegreSQL would be the search function as the one included with SQlite is much more limited compared to PostegreSQL.

 

As normally @linuxserver.io knows what it is doing I would be curious to know why the choice for SQLight was made and the use of another DB  not documented. Was this a deliberate choice or maybe an oversight?
Not criticism, just genuine curiosity as I would like to understand the container and it's use case better.

I dont know why sqlite was chosen, but did you consider  that it might have been supported at the time we released it? It is still supported in the current version.

 

You can configure the database you want by editing the config file.

 

Looking at the container it might seem like we haven't really released it properly as there are some env vars that is missing from the documentation.

Hi Saarg,

 

I never said it was not supported, I only pointed out that the developer warns against using it. I think it is normal then for me to worry that in some months I might have an issue where my data is stuck in a not supported database. It's called planning ahead.

And again, I was not criticizing anyone for it I was only asking why this decision was made and if it was deliberate. And if there was a way for me to setup a different DB if I want to.

 

I did see the config file, however I am/was worried it might be problematic to edit this as I can only edit this after first starting the container. Not sure if changing the DB at that point might break something.

 

Do you know what env vars are missing?

It's the environment variables for setting up the database connection and type. If you look at the 50-config file you can see what they are. But they are only set on first container run when there is no config file in the appdata folder.

Aah yes I found it.

So if I would set those myself when first running the container would that overwrite those in the file, or would the file overwrite whatever I set in the run command?

The env variables only work the first time you start the container and has an empty appdata. After that you have to edit the config file to change it.

Why isn't there a proxy .conf for this container? There's one for Docuwiki but not wiki.js? I'm not sure how to get this working on my subdomain: I get "502 Bad Gateway", because I'm not sure what my wikijs.subdomain.conf should look like, and I don't know what kind of additional configuration is required in the config.yml file.

Probably better to report it to wiki.js

Hi,

 

I've been trying to setup Wikijs with an PostgreSQL data base, however I get an "EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/data/cache'" I click Install when setting up the admin account and public URL. From the logs, it seems Wikijs connects to database, but not authorized, what am I doing wrong?

Has someone been able to get the reverse proxy "swag" working with this?

 

I receive the message that the certificate is not valid, after ignoring this I receive "502"

 

--------------- Edit --------------------------

 

Got it to work:

this ist the configuration for wiki.subdomain.conf:

 

server {
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    
    server_name wiki.*;

    charset utf-8;
    client_max_body_size 50M;

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

    location / {
        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_next_upstream http_504;
        resolver 127.0.0.11 valid=30s;
        set $upstream_app wikijs;
        set $upstream_port 3000;
        set $upstream_proto http;
        proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
    }
}

 

Important:

- Do not forget to Update your CNAME at your DNS provider

- Enter wiki at the Docker configuration as you can see below.

Getting this error when trying to hook up Git using SSH.  Is it a permissions thing?  WHere should the public SSH key be located for wiki.js to work with it?

 

 Identity file /root/.ssh/id_rsa not accessible: Permission denied. Warning: Permanently added the ECDSA host key for IP address 'XXX' to the list of known hosts. [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. error: Could not fetch origin

 

Thanks!

Hi,

Is there something wrong with the latest release of this container?

Trying a new setup and it wont connect to the database whatsoever - equally, wiping out configs for databases from the config.yml still see's it trying to connect to a postgres database (which is very weird as nothing is specified).

 

Is there some wierd gotcha with this container perhaps?

 

Thanks.

I am having some issues with this container. After install I get to the page where I can choose from Administration or create homepage. Both options give me an "Unauthorized" page. I login again and then the same over and over.


Exactly the same for me, currently no way to get past this that I can find.
