add

canasta add

Add a new wiki to a Canasta instance

Synopsis

Add a new wiki to an existing Canasta installation, creating a wiki farm. The new wiki is registered in wikis.yaml, the Caddyfile is regenerated, and the MediaWiki installer runs for the new wiki. You can also import an existing database dump instead of running the installer.

canasta add [flags]

Examples

  # Add a wiki accessible at localhost/docs
  canasta add -i myinstance -w docs -u localhost/docs -a admin

  # Add a wiki on a different domain
  canasta add -i myinstance -w blog -u blog.example.com -a admin

  # Add a wiki with an existing database dump
  canasta add -i myinstance -w docs -u localhost/docs -d /path/to/dump.sql
