The aim of this MediaWiki project is to show how my server is set up. Hopefully, if there are any problems in the future (i.e. server needs rebuilding) then the guides will be available here. Hopefully I can keep this up-to-date and it should be a very comprehensive guide. I also hope to upload files to aid in the connected devices to this server.

This guide is based on:

openSUSE Leap 16.0
Apache HTTP Server (with PHP 8) serving:
- MediaWiki (Me!)
- Wordpress cooking site
- Nextcloud file server
- Immich photo server (docker container)
MariaDB Database Sever (MySQL drop-in replacement)
NTP time server via chrony
Samba file server
Asterisk VoIP server/TFTP Server (Implemented on a virtual machine, running FreePBX)
WireGuard VPN
distributed.net RC5-72 project, using spare CPU time

To be implemented:

Samba Active Directory server (with Roaming Profiles/Folder Redirection)

These pages display well on an iPod or iPhone or an Android device! These pages are are now true mobile friendly.
