DokuWiki Docker Container

-

I love DokuWiki. It is an easy to use text-based wiki. It is my go-to place to store information about programs that I work on, movies and TV shows that I watch, books that I read, and so on.  The information for this post was taken from a dokuwiki page.

Here's the docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'
services:
  dokuwiki:
    container_name: dokuwiki
    image: php:7-apache-bullseye
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - dokuwiki
    ports:
      - '8889:80'
    volumes:
      - ./html:/var/www/html

networks:
  dokuwiki:

See https://loganmarchione.com/2022/03/the-best-way-to-run-dokuwiki-in-docker/ for installation instructions.

  • Exec into the container.
docker exec -it dokuwiki /bin/bash
  • Download DokuWiki.
cd /var/www/html
curl --remote-name https://download.dokuwiki.org/src/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-stable.tgz
tar -xzvf dokuwiki-stable.tgz --strip-components=1
rm dokuwiki-stable.tgz
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/

These  Dokuwiki extension plugins that I have installed:

  • Bookcreator Plugin by Gerrit Uitslag (previous: Luigi Micco) 2024-02-07 - Allow to make a book (PDF, ODT, HTML or text) from selected pages
  • dw2markdown plugin by i-net software 2025-11-04 - Render a DW page to Markdown
  • Dw2Pdf plugin by Andreas Gohr and Luigi Micco 2023-11-25 - DokuWiki to PDF converter
  • EditTable plugin by Andreas Gohr 2023-01-14 - Provide a custom editor for tables
  • PDF-Tools for dw2pdf by Gero Gothe 2021-11-11 - Additional features for PDF-Generation (requires dw2pdf)

Using Drupal and DITA OT to Create a PDF File

This post shows you how to use Drupal and DITA OpenToolkit to create a PDF file. It uses Views in Drupal and the REST UI to create a json file that will be used to create a bookmap and markdown files. These files will be used by Open Toolkit to create a PDF file. Prerequisites:  Drupal, DITA OT, Python Make sure that the following modules are installed in Drupal: For DITA Open Toolkit, you can use markdown files instead of DITA files. For this post we will use markdown files, which are much easier to work with. DITA files require that you are familiar with fairly complex tagging. Markdown is much easier to use. See the following website for a markdown cheatsheet: https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet/ Creating  Dita Bookmap and Markdown Content Types We will create a Dita bookmap and two markdown files. First, let's make two new  Content Types  in Drupal. For the first content type, perform the following steps: Select  Structure > Content Types > ...
