I am trying to demo XWiki on an offline server inside our corporate network. the http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation page states the following options for offline installations:
- Set up a local Extension Repository- This seems to work, but I cannot find a good way of downloading all available extensions to host internally. Manually installing extensions will take too long due to the dependency chains.
- Install the standalone distribution: XWiki failed to run when I installed using the exe installer for windows. Furthermore, we are looking at deploying several applications, so I’d rather host manually using our own database and Tomcat (which works fine, but I can’t easily import packages).
- Import default wiki pages using the XAR import feature- this worked, but the pages and theme were different than what was installed when I did this with an online server.
- Use the offline packager maven plugin - I tried this option, but it didn’t seem to work.
The best option seems to be to somehow clone the XWiki extension database for offline use- is there any way to do this?
