About the project

A dedicated home for structured knowledge

INKRAH CMS Wiki is the wiki portal project from INKRAH Web Design, created to support the organisation and presentation of encyclopaedia-style information.

Knowledge with structure

The platform is designed for content that benefits from clear organisation, connected topics and consistent presentation. Its encyclopaedia approach supports the discovery of information across subjects and languages.

Article footnotes, contributor details and links between matching article titles help readers navigate content and understand its context.

Flexible presentation

Visitors can enjoy a presentation suited to their preferences, including theme choices and dark or light viewing modes. The design aims to remain welcoming across desktop, tablet and mobile screens.

Technology foundation

PHP and SQLite at the core

INKRAH CMS Wiki uses PHP and SQLite as its core technologies. This combination can provide a practical foundation for a self-hosted wiki portal, particularly where straightforward deployment and a compact database setup are desirable.

PHP

PHP is a widely used server-side language for web applications. It can run within common web hosting environments and supports the dynamic pages and application logic of a wiki portal.

SQLite

SQLite is a compact, file-based relational database engine. It does not require a separate database server process, which can simplify initial setup and reduce the number of services an administrator needs to configure.

Quick start

Installation made straightforward

The intended installation flow begins with extracting the package and opening its location in a web browser. If the application has not yet been installed, it should direct the administrator to the installation page.

Unzip, configure and get started

Follow the installer prompts to provide the site's initial settings and administrator details.

Choose clear, unique values and review the resulting configuration before making the website publicly available.
