One way to use this is in conjunction with the <a href="./pingee.html">pingee</a> plugin to set up a loosely coupled mirror network, or a branched version of a wiki. By pinging the mirror or branch each time the main wiki changes, it can be kept up-to-date.</p> <p>To configure what URLs to ping, use the <a href="../ikiwiki/directive/ping.html">ping</a> <a href="../ikiwiki/directive.html">directive</a>.</p> <p>The <a href="http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=dist&query=LWPx%3A%3AParanoidAgent">LWPx::ParanoidAgent</a> Perl module is strongly recommended. The <a href="http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=dist&query=LWP">LWP</a> module can also be used, but is susceptible to server-side request forgery.</p> <p>The <a href="http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=dist&query=Crypt%3A%3ASSLeay">Crypt::SSLeay</a> perl module is needed to support pinging "https" urls.</p> <p>By default the pinger will try to ping a site for 15 seconds before timing out. This timeout can be changed by setting the <code>pinger_timeout</code> configuration setting in the setup file.</p> </div> </div> <div id="footer" class="pagefooter" role="contentinfo"> <div id="pageinfo"> <div class="tags"> Tags: <a href="./type/special-purpose.html" rel="tag">type/special-purpose</a> </div> <div id="backlinks"> Links: <a href="../news/ikiwiki_version_3.0.html">news/ikiwiki version 3.0</a> <a href="./pingee.html">pingee</a> <a href="../roadmap.html">roadmap</a> <a href="../security.html">security</a> <a href="../tips/distributed_wikis.html">tips/distributed wikis</a> <a href="../tips/using_a_proxy.html">tips/using a proxy</a> </div> <div class="pagedate"> Last edited <span class="date">Tue Feb 26 23:01:54 2019</span> <!-- Created <span class="date">Tue Feb 26 23:01:54 2019</span> --> </div> </div> <!-- from ikiwiki --> </div> </div> </body> </html>
