Hi,
I am trying to install xwiki on a synology NAS DS918+, but still without success.
I hope somebody is willing to describe how to do this?

Best regards,

Hi, what is special with a " synology NAS DS918+"? Is it a linux system? Do you have ssh shell access?

What did you do? What are the problems?

Thanks

Hi,

I used the procudure found on xwiki https://xwiki.com/en/Blog/HowtoinstallXWikiusingDocker/

I am not sure but it looks like there is no connection to the created database.
When browsing it stays a long time at initializing at 12%.

If you wish i can send you the log information, but this is a long list.

Best regards,
Martien

Well we can’t help you with more information.

We just need to xwiki logs at the start. If it’s a long list then it means there are problems since it’s supposed to be almost empty.

Thanks

How much RAM and CPU do you have?

Hi,

Cpu intel celeron j3455
Memmory 8gb

I think the next message shows my problem.
2020-06-09 09:38:45,018 [Core extension repository updater] ERROR aultExtensionRepositoryManager - Unexpected error when trying to find extension [commons-daemon:commons-daemon/1.2.2] in repository [maven-xwiki:maven:https://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/content/groups/public]

org.xwiki.extension.ResolveException: Failed to resolve artifact [commons-daemon:commons-daemon:jar:1.2.2] descriptor

I can see on that site the extension is available.
When i browse to that location

Best regard

So you have internet access to nexus.xwiki.org from that machine running XWiki? Do you have a proxy?

Could you paste the full stack trace you have?

Hi,
For my NAS I do not use a proxy server.
But it looks like it cannot resolve names correctly.
I will try to use another dns server, because the NAS is also my dns server.

He He, I am successful to install it onto a synology :slightly_smiling_face:

I do not know much about xwiki or docker.
The problem was the connection from inside a container to internet.
Inside a container devices are receiving an 172.x.x.x IP address.
And my internet router does not know this, so I add a static route for the 172.x.x.x network to my NAS.
After this I could ping the container IP addresses, but the container devices still cannot ping something.
The cause of this the Firewall off my NAS.
Now Xwiki is running.

Next step is:

  • look what is possible with Xwiki
  • Is it possible to transfer documentation created in Xwiki to other applications?
  • How to make backups and restore these to a newly created Xwiki installation.
  • Can we use Single Sign On (SSO) for users?

Best regards,
Martien
