All about the Wiki.
The wiki is powered by Gollum

All pages

See all pages at once.

 

How to read the Wiki

The wiki is divided into 4 main areas:

1. Desktop
2. Server
3. Mobile
4. PwOSS

In each section, the respective tutorials and explanations are listed.

 

How to create/change Wiki pages

 

PwOSS - Gitea account

To create or change wiki pages, you first need an account at PwOSS - Gitea. See the Wiki page - Gitea for more explanations about Gitea, including instructions on how to Fork the wiki and create a Pull Request. Which is important to create or change wiki pages!

 

Structure

The root folder

root	Description
content	inlcudes all "organizations"
deprecated	to keep unused pages
public	includes all assets (images, css, fonts,...)
LICENSE	Wiki license
README.md	Gitea/git README file
all-pages.md	listed ALL pages of the wiki
custom.css	design of the wiki
Home.md	the main wiki page

 

Content

Organizations	Description
desktop	includes the Arch installation
mobile	includes Android, Linux content and an apple.md file
pwoss	includes all about pwoss
server	includes all the tutorials about the x86_64 server

 

Desktop

The desktop is really simple.
Just an arch.md file, desktop-software-suite.md and the _Footer.md.

 

Mobile

Mobile is in general a tough fight. Not only the flashing process, also the how to.

At first we have an android.md which covers all content from the android folder. We have also added an apple.md file if someone is able to create some privacy ideas about Apple. Since February 2020 we also include Linux installations.

The Android folder covers the entire installation process and contains some information about Android in general.

The devices folders are tutorials for specific phones.

 

PwOSS

Contains everything about PwOSS like this Wiki how to.

 

Server

Contains every tutorial and the list of the _Footer.md, arch-x86_64.md, arch-server-docu.md and server-software-suite.md.

 

Deprecated

Unused pages can be moved to this folder.

 

Public

Usually only the image folder is important. Why is described below.

 

Wiki explanation

Before you start changing any pages, you need to know how the wiki works.
All pages are mainly located in the content folder. As described above. If necessary, create a new folder.

This covers the basics and some PwOSS rules.
The full description are avilable at github.com/gollum.

 

Footer, Header & Sidebar

Every folder contains a _Footer.md file, but ...

... do NOT add a _Footer.md, _Header.md or _Sidebar.md file to the root folder! It overwrites all other _Footer.md, _Header.md or _Sidebar.md created in other folders. It is a global _Footer.md, _Header.md or _Sidebar.md option. Which isn't really helpful.

 

custom.css & custom.js

Any Pull Requests of these files will be rejected. Security concerns.

 

Internal links

If you want to link to another wiki page, please use [another wiki page](/content/organization/page-file-name.md).

Tags:
[description](/path/to/page-file-name.md)

 

Images

Please add all images under /public/images/ and create a new folder if necessary.

Tags:
![description](/public/images/path/to/your/image.png)
[[/public/images/path/to/your/image.png]]

1. [[/public/images/path/to/your/image.png|alt=text]]
   • Text to display when the image is not found.
2. [[/public/images/path/to/your/image.png|frame]]
   • Tells Gollum to place the image in a <span class="frame">, which will display a border around the image.
3. [[/public/images/path/to/your/image.png|align=position]]
   • Tells Gollum to align the image in the given way. Position can be left, center, and right. Default: left.
4. [[/public/images/path/to/your/image.png|float]]
   • Tells Gollum to float the image so that the text flows around it. This option can not be used with the align=center option. When floating is enabled and alignment is not specified, align=left is applied.
5. [[/public/images/path/to/your/image.png|height=value]]
   • Set maximum height for the image. Values must be specified either with px or em unit.
6. [[/public/images/path/to/your/image.png|width=value]]
   • Set maximum width for the image. Values must be specified either with px or em unit.
