Manual:Wiki on a stick/de

Mit einem "Stick" ist ein USB-Stick gemeint. Diese Anleitung betrifft allerdings auch alle anderen Wechseldatenträger (Memory-Karten, PCMCIA-Karten).

Warum ein Wiki auf einem Stick installieren?
Ein persönliches Wiki auf einem Stick ist praktisch für Vorträge, persönliche Wissensverwaltung, ausgeklügelte Notizverwaltung oder sehr schnelle Installationen mittels einer einfachen Kopie.

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.

Sicherheit
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 TrueCrypt, 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.
