Setting up this wiki

To start the wiki we have a description of how this wiki was created.
The wiki runs on a Google Compute virtual machine running Debian 10. It is possible to set one up for free in a matter of minutes.
We followed these instructions to install the wiki onto the VM... https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Debian_or_Ubuntu with the following notes:
- We installed all the extra software as listed
- We installed it directly into /var/www/html/mediawiki rather than use a link as described. The instructions said to put it into the web directory so we did and it works without the linking problems outlined.
- We have an edited Apache site file already with SSL details etc, including proxies. We have linked the root / of hw7.ddns.net to /mediawiki so it goes straight in. Note that Node-RED is also installed on this server and will be used to deliver live content via iframes.
Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
