Kiwix server

Offline access to free educational content

Kiwix is a non-profit organization and a free and open-source software project dedicated to providing offline access to free educational content. We can make highly compressed copies of entire websites that each fit into a single (.zim) file. Zim files are small enough that they can be stored on users’ mobile phones, computers or small, inexpensive Hotspot. Kiwix then acts like a regular browser, except that it reads these local copies. People with no or limited internet access can enjoy the same browsing experience as anyone else.

Download content (.zim files) from https://library.kiwix.org/, place into ${STORAGE_KIWIX} and restart the container.
More information on the .zim files: https://download.kiwix.org/zim/README
