After we enjoyed a very solid Tiki24 with tested and improved features the Tiki Wiki team planned and started adding many additions or critical and complex update. And what a better time than the 20th Tiki Wiki anniversary to release Tiki 25, a future version that will lead the way to Tiki 27, the next LTS (Long Term Services) of this web based application generator ! In this article I will explain the different changes and adaptations I had do to have a previous Tiki24 website to work using the Tiki 25 version. Those are mainly visual changes due to upgrading from Bootstrap4 to Bootstrap5.

In this Express Tutorial I will explain how to prepare a Linux Debian11 server to publish your Tiki Wiki website or any other software like Wordpress, Laravel, etc. This express tutorial is for intermediate IT Admin or fullstack developper that want to setup and publish a website. We will review together how to setup the server by installing Debian11 bullseye operating system, setup root and network parameters, install Webmin and Virtuamin control panel, check that MariaDB is running and how you can setup different PHP versions. Finally we will use Git, set an SSL certificat to finally publish your Tiki Wiki website online.

This article is an update of a previous one that will explain how to install Tiki Wiki website on a Debian11 Lightsail instance.

In this Tiki Express Tutorial we'll see together how to enable Tiki Categories, how to use categories to group objects, how to use it to with tracker items and Categories permissions.

Outside development scope, I usually setup my Tiki instance as compact as possible cloning the last revision and a single branch.
However I needed to cherry-pick a commit onto 2 branches and for some reasons Gitlab, where I keep my repositories wasn't able to do it automatically as it does usually.
I had to go under my git config hood to rerouting cables and add a second branch to my existing origin/master.😉

In this Tiki Express Video Tutorial I explain how to troubleshoot Tiki settings using the Profiles export tabs, Tiki logs and how to clear caches.
