Greg's Wiki

This is Greg's (also known as GreyCat's) wiki. It has some pages which may be of interest for people doing Unix shell scripting or system administration. The official front page URLs are https://mywiki.wooledge.org/ or http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ .

This wiki uses text captchas on page edits. Trusted editors will not see them.

The Debian wiki has some more resources that may be useful.


This is a MoinMoin wiki. Language packages have been installed for English, French, German and Spanish, but virtually all the content is in English.

As of April 2014, this wiki runs on a Debian virtual private server with nginx and uWSGI. In December 2012, this wiki was moved to the same Debian virtual private server with Apache2 and mod_wsgi. Prior to that, it ran on an OpenBSD box with a very slow Internet connection, using CherryPy with Apache rewriting magic to help out. Prior to that, it ran on the same box using the "twisted" package (instructions for that no longer exist!), with a simpler Apache reverse proxy pointing to it.
