kiwix-tools VS mwoffliner

You're saying the fix is merged in https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools? I looked at the commit history after 3.4.0 and didn't see anything relevant to this. Did I miss it, or is there somewhere else I should be looking?

Not 7Zip, but there are Kiwix Tools that allow you to explore the ZIIM, and of course various readers for different Operating Systems that render article HTML

u/RedditNoobie777, the library is served by a piece of software called Kiwix Serve, and issues with it (which might include what it displays, what it should display) are on this GitHub: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools/issues . I think before you could help categorize, it would be necessary for the software to be updated to display information like whether an archive is mini or maxi, and the date of the archive. There is an issue for the date: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools/issues/551 . Displaying the filename on the tile would be a quick solution, as it currently has all the information.

Have you checked https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools/issues ?

thanks for the link. I didn't find this yet but some kiwix-serve repository which I can't find now anymore. Found some related issues there I.e. https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools/issues/518 They mention an option allowing to set the url-path, I left a question there if it was possible to do so with the docker image as well.

Kiwix is an offline reader that allows users to browse entire copies of Wikipedia (ca. 83Gb for the whole thing, incl. images), StackExchange (new release coming up soon), the Gutenberg project, etc. stored locally. The project is fully FOSS (here's the git repo) and the subreddit is r/Kiwix.

I rummaged a bit and found a super old feature request on Sourceforge specifically asking for compatibility with non-JS browsers, including lynx. That would be for Kiwix-serve (which you can find here)

I setup an offline version using Kiwix-serve Tools. Essentially you: Get up to speed here: https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-serve Download for example 'wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2021-03.zim' from Here: https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/ en = English - all_maxi = all content. Setup a web server using the kiwix-tools for example 'kiwix-tools_win-i686-3.1.2.zip' from here: https://download.kiwix.org/release/kiwix-tools/

You can also directly open a ticket at https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner/issues with as much info as possible so we can look into it (zim name, language, date, article name, etc.)

Welp yes, that's a bug (likely a regression from a recent update). Can you please open a ticket at https://github.com/openzim/zim-requests/issues (we might move it later on but that's as good a starting place as can be).

https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner/issues/1655 Unfortunate that there's no way to convert the easiest way to make proper dumps of wikis (ArchiveTeam's wikiteam-tools) to Kiwix Zims. That would allow for all sorts of niche information to be preserved in a readable way.

I'm looking at making my own ZIM though not sure the best way to go about it. I've seen zimit on Github and the mwoffliner on Github too.

Generally speaking, I'd advise opening a ticket on https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner/issues

r/kiwix would be the place to ask, but at the end of the day it all comes down to heading out to openzim.org (or the corresponding github repo) and figuring it out. You can either grab zimit and run it locally, or access all the libraries that will help you build your own scraper (Nautilus will assemble documents and videos into a single file library, MWoffliner will do for wikis, youtube will do YouTube, etc.).
