Manual:Wiki on a stick/fr

Par clé USB nous sous-entendons tout type de stockage externe comme keydrive, thumdrive ou pendrive. Quoi qu'il en soit, les instructions à appliquer sont les mêmes d'un support à un autre stockage externe(Carte Mémoire, PC Card/PCMCIA/CardBus disk, LS-120 SuperDisk, or other stokage externe)

Pourquoi mettre un wiki sur une Clé USB?

Avoir un Wiki Personnel sur un support amovible est utile pour faire des démonstration, prendre des notes de manière sophistiqué, ou une installation rapide grâce à une simple copie.

Considerations
Always stop the servers and then use the system tray "unplug/eject" icon to stop the media before removing it.

Take regular backups if you are putting a lot of effort into wiki content, or software configuration/customisation. Remember that a USB key is an easy thing to lose.

Sécurité
If you lose your USB key, anyone finding it will have access to the information in your wiki. Note that conventional web security measures as described on Manual:Preventing access, do not help (much) in this situation, since they will have direct access to the database server (it's on the USB key!). So avoid placing sensitive/confidential information in your wiki pages. Or alternatively...

You may want to use encryption software such as BitLocker, to protect your data. This requires you to mount a drive prior to server start up, and dismount the drive after server shut down each time.
