+[https://www.dokuwiki.org DokuWiki] is a web application and simple Wiki software for creating documentation and editable pages in markdown language. Compared to other Wikis, it is more minimal and only depends on PHP and file access without any need for databases. It stores all information in plain text files to be available even without the DokuWiki software (e.g. to read directly from backup).

 == Configuration ==
-=== Users and permissions ===
+Besides several options which are exposed by the DokuWiki module in NixOS, you can also use <code>settings</code> option to add custom options to your DokuWiki configuration. See the [https://www.dokuwiki.org/config upstream documentation] for available options.
-To disable the user permissions completely and make the Wiki editable by anyone (even anonymous users), you can use following configuration
+=== Templates ===
+Unfortunately no templates are packaged yet in nixpkgs. It is possible to manually package a template, for example from the [https://www.dokuwiki.org/template official template repository], and include it in your Dokuwiki instance. In the following example the template [https://www.dokuwiki.org/template:mindthedark mindthedark] is packaged and enabled
+{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>
+let
+  dokuwiki-template-mindthedark = pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
+    name = "mindthedark";
+    version = "2021-12-24";
+    src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
+      owner = "MrReSc";
+      repo = "MindTheDark";
+      rev = version;
+      sha256 = "sha256-8wWwwAYYQcUYzHpnSKOubZh7UzwfxvWXXNU7CUAiS3o=";
+    };
+    installPhase = "mkdir -p $out; cp -R * $out/";
+  };
+in {
+  services.dokuwiki.sites."localhost" = {
+    templates = [ dokuwiki-template-mindthedark ];
+    settings = {
+      template = "mindthedark";
+      tpl.mindthedark.autoDark = true;
+    };
+  };
+};
+</nowiki>}}
+Please note that you'll have to manually update the tempalte source and checksum in case there's a new version.
+=== Plugins ===
+The following example packages the [https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:edittable edittable plugin]
+{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>
+let
+  dokuwiki-plugin-edittable = pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
+    name = "edittable";
+    src = pkgs.fetchzip {
+      url = "https://github.com/cosmocode/edittable/archive/master.zip";
+      sha256 = "sha256-l+GZdFGp6wyNuCbAZB9IbwpY5c/S4vSW12VP0mJHKXs=";
+    };
+    sourceRoot = ".";
+    installPhase = "mkdir -p $out; cp -R edittable-master/* $out/";
+  };
+in {
+  services.dokuwiki.sites."localhost" = {
+    plugins = [ dokuwiki-plugin-edittable ];
+  };
+};
+</nowiki>}}
+The plugin is enabled automatically. Note that in case of this plugin, we strip the root directory called ''edittable-master'' and only copy the plugin files to the ''out''-folder. Please note that you'll have to manually update the plugin source and checksum in case there's a new version.
+=== Clean URLs ===
+If supported by the webserver you've choosen (using the <code>webserver</code> option), you can enable clean urls or url rewriting by enabling the option [https://www.dokuwiki.org/config:userewrite userewrite]. This means you can access your sites with the simple URL scheme like http://localhost/my_project .
+{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>
+services.dokuwiki.sites."localhost".settings = {
+  userewrite = true;
+};
+</nowiki>}}
+Clean URLs are reported to work with the webserver [[Caddy]].
+=== Anonymous editing ===
+To disable the user authentication completely and make the Wiki editable by anyone (even anonymous users), you can disable the config [https://www.dokuwiki.org/config:useacl useacl] with the following option
 {{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>
-services.dokuwiki.sites."localhost" = {
+services.dokuwiki.sites."localhost".settings = {
-   aclUse = false;
+   acluse = false;
-  extraConfig = ''
-    $conf['userewrite'] = 1;
-  '';
 };
 </nowiki>}}
