Help Help

Hello,

So I built my first cyberdeck and wanted to get an offline wiki going on it and so I found kiwix which is exactly what I wanted. I followed all the steps but when I ran the application the online files don’t show anything. Maybe I messed up somewhere but not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Also I’m a complete noob so please be patient if I’m not understanding.

Thanks,

You have to go to library and select the plus sign to select your downloaded files, they dont always show up in library on the newer versions of the app for some reason. Just made a solar powered SHTF cyberdeck like last month. Ran into the same issue

Some others things you may or may not want to consider based on your build are these apps

Some good things to get off kiwix is Wikipedia and prepper guides also the project Gutenberg library for medical references used Anna's archive (good domain not .io) to download all kinds of guides for offgrid survival

offgrid communication

For if you have wifi world monitor app

open street maps
