Adding a new site

Here we describe how to add a new wiki to your wiki farm. There are a number of steps:

1. Register your domain 1. Point your name servers to Digital Ocean 1. Set up DNS Configuration on Digital Ocean 1. Add new domain to Google Credentials page 1. Edit config.json

You have a choice of different form of oAuth configuration for your site. It is not such a good idea to configure multiple options for any site - I've had problems with that option.

Here we describe how to add a new wiki to your wiki farm. There are a number of steps:

# Dynadot settings

Below you can see the setting for a typical domain on Dynadot. The example is for the platform.earth web site:

This is an image - fedwiki.org

The top-level A records are set to hosting with Webflow on the following ip addresses:

A 23.235.33.229 (platform.earth) A 104.156.81.229 (platform.earth)

A subdomain (hack.platform.earth) is pointing to the Atopia Wiki Farm.

A 46.101.23.193 (hack.platform.earth)

# Restart server We can use the shell plugin to restart the server:

restart wiki

May complain of an error, but it seems to restart OK if you wait a little.

# Setting the A records

It can take a little while to update the DNS records. Check the progress using Domain Name Tools. In particular to check DNS propagation - whatsmydns.net

even when (according to whatsmydns) the ip address has changed to the Atopia wiki Farm ip address, the old site is still being served.
