[Package Request] Kiwix-serve #4079
Comments
Kiwix-server requires meson build system that is not available yet (see #3820). |
I have tried to compile it using entware packages on my ds220j, it was sufficient to run kiwix-build (ninja and meson python packages) and build big part of components, but i ran into compilation issue on xapian which i dont have enough knowledge to resolve myself. Unfortunately, kiwix got official support for armhf raspberrypi only. Here is my issue #kiwix/kiwix-build#459 |
@mitya12342 If you can run Docker on your Syno (I do not know if the j-series does support it), just install the kiwix-serve docker https://hub.docker.com/r/kiwix/kiwix-serve. |
@chjohn22, unfortunately there are no native docker support as j series are arm based and docker images are for amd64 |
@mitya12342 are you still looking for a kiwix package? I have just created the PR #4627 with my work so far. The last piece that was missing was fixed with #4615.

@hgy59 I do run kiwix-serve as a docker container. A dedicated port is a nice feature. You can even mount subfolders with docker, I do not know how it is with a syno package. I will link the top three kiwix maintainers in this post, maybe they can help you with the details. 😃 |
@chjohn22 Why using the statically compiled binaries we release does not seem to be an option? |
FYI our docker images are also published for arm. |
@hgy59 Yes, I am still looking for it. Thank you so much for your work.
I think, it would be easier for people with less technical knowledge to run it with such synology integrations, so it makes sense. But I prefer CLI package myself.
Tools are also useful for people familiar with CLI, who are downloading zim files using synology itself. If it possible to have them, it makes sense. |
Name: Kiwix-serve
Description: Kiwix-serve is a ZIM compatible Web server. With its help you can deliver ZIM file content over your network. Based on the well known HTTP protocol, kiwix-serve allows you to share the ZIM files available on your computer easily with others connected to your network. You simply need to start kiwix-serve and your content will be available for anybody through their own Web browser. Kiwix-serve is a good solution if you have a LAN network and don't want to install Kiwix on all computers. It's a good alternative if you don't have a shared network disk from which everybody can start Kiwix.
