Since the great freedom country is going after wikipedia now, I was wondering if there was a way to selfhost it somehow.
I fear that these idiots will fuck it up in the near future. I will download the text version but is there a way to help keep it alive outside us?
Kiwix is probably the easiest / most readily available solution, but wikipedia runs on mediawiki which is also FOSS:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediawiki
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Download
I’m guessing that most of the database download options provided by wikipedia itself should be compatible with a personal wikimedia installation:
