Main feature of this mirror is that I can easily download gmodwiki to my notebook and use wiki while I'm offline. Thank you!

Twice a day should be fine, though. I mean how often does the original wiki change anyway?

#

Reasonably it should only check for differences in the "recent changes" feed to determine if and which pages require redownloading

Github is funky. You have to be logged in to use its package repo - it's pretty dumb

#

I'll see about getting it up on dockerhub, but that has a whole other set of issues I'd need to address

Whatโ€™s the purpose of mirroring the wiki

river bluff
#

mirror is faster and more stable

#

Offline availability is a big one for some people

#

We can add more features to it to make wiki-ing a more seamless and enjoyable experience

#

Plus Facepunch doesn't have a very good track record of maintaining community web resources...

#

The mirror is here forever. It costs me nothing to run and I can do so indefinitely. And so can you - anyone can host their own public instance for free

Are you allowed to scrape their site

#

A lot of websites frown upon scrapers

fallen atlas
#

I do so responsibly and as infrequently as possible

#

After the initial build, it only re-scrapes pages when they're changed (according to /~recentchanges)

Any idea why?

Please let me know if it worked for you! I'd like to make the self hosting as seamless as I can ๐ŸŽ‰
