Introduction

Today we will set up a Kiwix server on a Debian Linux container (LXC) using Proxmox VE. Kiwix is an application that allows users to view offline websites, such as Wikipedia, utilizing the ZIM file format.

This setup involves four key tasks:

• Building a Linux container: Operating environment for Kiwix.
• Installing kiwix-tools: Acquiring required Kiwix software.
• Creating a Kiwix Systemd service: Automate System management of Kiwix.
• Downloading ZIM files: Files containing offline content

With this configuration, Local Area Network (LAN) users can access Kiwix, viewing downloaded content offline. This is useful for a couple of reasons.

• Access content when Internet connectivity is questionable.
• Access local coin private, rather than browsing the Internet.
