A "survival wiki." I built it for myself. It's mediawiki on a raspberry pi zero, AC/DC powered, with an e-ink display. It connects automatically to a known wifi network and displays the connection details. When the wifi network goes down however, it automatically switches to access-point mode, allowing you to connect directly to it through your phone or other wifi client device.

There's still some quirks to work out, but it works well. I store personal knowledge on it and I don't have to worry about rebooting my primary computer (and taking down the wiki), or a power outage preventing me from accessing my information.

Very interesting. Any code?

Thanks, nothing public yet but I am getting inspired to share what I have. It is really nothing more than some systemd units, /etc configurations, and a dockerfile. I will try to put something together though.

Please do, real-life examples of systemd units are useful for learning.
