๐Ÿ’– dokuwiki-delsite ๐Ÿ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about dokuwiki-delsite โ€” a lil program from the dokuwiki manual section (General Commands Manual energy ๐Ÿ‘‘) and its whole entire job is: Remove and existing site driven by DokuWiki. yes it says "and existing", that's literally what the page says, I am simply the messenger ๐Ÿซถ anyway. deleting a site. that's the vibe. ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธโœจ


๐ŸŒธ NAME ๐ŸŒธ

dokuwiki-delsite โ€” Remove and existing site driven by DokuWiki ๐Ÿ’…


โœจ SYNOPSIS โœจ

dokuwiki-delsite {'SITE_NAME'}

one argument, one job, no cap. that's the whole thing. ๐Ÿ˜Œ


๐Ÿฆ‹ DESCRIPTION ๐Ÿฆ‹

so first of all, let's set the scene: DokuWiki is a standards compliant, simple to use wiki, mainly aimed at creating documentation of any kind. iconic behavior honestly. ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’–

now the tea. here's what the page says dokuwiki-delsite does: it creates the file hierarchy and configuration required to define a new site driven by the installed DokuWiki engine.

bestie I know ๐Ÿ˜ญ yes, the page says "creates", on the delete tool, and I am not going to gaslight you about it โ€” that is word for word what it says. I'm keeping it real with you fr fr.

๐ŸŽ€ OPTIONS ๐ŸŽ€

  • SITE_NAME โ€” the name of the site to remove ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ. and now the important part, because the meaning of this name depends on your setup, so listen up:
    • for a virtual host-based setup, it reflects the corresponding hostname ๐ŸŒ
    • for a directory or htaccess-based setup, this is the corresponding site identifier ๐Ÿท๏ธ

one name, two possible meanings, pick the one that matches your setup. iykyk. ๐Ÿ’…


๐Ÿ’€ BUGS ๐Ÿ’€

okay this is the part where we get very serious for a sec, bestie, because this is a genuine warning and I need you to actually read it:

No check is done against the SITE_NAME, so just avoid names like ../../../etc. ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ˜ญ

like. for real. please don't pass that. there is no guardrail, no vibe check, no nothing. it's giving "you're on your own". ๐Ÿ™ˆ

and if you find any bug, please report any bug to the Debian BTS ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ“ฎ
