Quick and dirty install Wiki.js on Fedora 27

[JaredBusch]

This is nothing like a full set of instructions from me, and I will rectify that later.

But I am out of free time for a while and thought I would at least toss this at you all.

Start with Fedora 27 Minimal
Install prereqs

dnf install -y tar git mongodb-server

Set MongoDB to start.

systemctl start mongod
systemctl enable mongod

Install NVM to manage node

cd ~
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.8/install.sh | bash
nvm ls-remote
nvm install v8.9.4

Allow the default port through the firewall

firewall-cmd --add-port=3000/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload

Create a folder to put your wiki in and then download it there

mkdir /opt/wiki
cd /opt/wiki
curl -sSo- https://wiki.js.org/install.sh | bash

[root@wiki wiki]# curl -sSo- https://wiki.js.org/install.sh | bash

Thank you for installing Wiki.js!
Please consider donating to our open collective to help maintain this project:

- Launch configuration wizard: node wiki configure
- Start Wiki.js server: node wiki start

Setup SELinux to know this is a directory needing httpd_rw

semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/opt/wiki(/.*)?"
restorecon -R -F /opt/wiki

Start the setup wizard

node wiki configure

Navigate to your system and follow the wizard
http://ip.add.re.ss:3000

@jaredbusch Very helpful thanks.

[JaredBusch]

No with Pictures!!

Navigate to the raw IP (or DNS name) and port 3000 to begin the setup wizard.
Click Start.

It will verify things. Click continue.

This screen is the important one. This is where you determine how to access it going forward.

Fill in the name with whatever you want and the host with your real FQDN. if you are gong to be using SSL on your proxy, populate this with https.
I will always recommend that you put a proxy in front of a nodejs application. So because of that, set this to be port 3000 (we already opened the firewall for this).

Read and understand what you need to do if you are using a proxy.

Mongo should connect if you followed the above instructions.

Unless you are snowflaking the system on purpose, leave this alone.

Skip this for now unless you really know what you are doing.

This is what you see whether you configure or skip.

Create your initial admin account

Start the Wiki up.

You will see this in the GUI

And you will see this on the CLI.

This brings it to here. I'm not sure why the system is not showing the css. Probably because I do not have my proxy setup right yet.

Nice work. Are you documenting putting a reverse proxy in front of this, or are you only using it internally?

Yes, I have a Nginx proxy in front. But that is on another box.

If you want to have wiki.js autostart after reboot. You can install pm2 and tell pm2 to configure itself as a startup service.

But before installing pm2 and configuring it, you will want to temporary set SELinux to permissive and also install setroubleshoot-server. After installing and configuring pm2. You will end up having to run these commands.

ausearch -c 'systemd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemd
semodule -i my-systemd.pp

You'll get that info from running sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log.
SystemD needs read access to pm2.pid.

I think to do this properly, I should put up Nginx in front as well. If I were to just put Wiki.js on a VPS, I could put Nginx on the same box, correct?

Yes. There is nothing special in setting up NginX on CentOS versus Fedora.

@JaredBusch Did you get this fixed?

Having the same issue behind NGINX reverse proxy

[Alex Sage]

Nevermind.
