MoinMoin Appliance

Wiki Engine

MoinMoin is an easy to use and extensible Wiki engine implemented in Python with a large community of users. MoinMoin's storage mechanism are flat files and folders, rather than a database. This makes it easy to manipulate the content in a text editor on the server if necessary, including managing revisions if the wiki gets attacked by spammers.

FCKeditor enabled by default
- Debian have removed (disabled) FCKeditor by default due to security packaging issues. TurnKey prioritizes ease-of-use out of the box, so it has been enabled by default.

If required, FCKeditor can be disabled as follows:

rm -rf /usr/share/moin/htdocs/applets/{*FCK*,*fck*}
sed -i "s|editor_force = False|editor_force = True|" /etc/moin/mywiki.py
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Default credentials:

Webmin, Webshell, SSH, MySQL: username root, no password
- user sets password during installation
MoinMoin: username admin, password turnkey
