Wiki.js Sitemap Generator

This software allows you to generate a sitemap for your Wiki.js instance.

Currently, it only supports Postgres, but support for MySQL will be added if requested or if I have the time.
It supports Postgres, MySQL and MariaDB.

You can run it as a standalone Node.js program or within a Docker container.

How it works:

1. It connects to your Wiki.js database
2. It generates a sitemap for public posts.

Demo

You can view a demo of the sitemap on the following Wiki.js site: https://testwiki.hostwiki.io
The sitemap can be accessed at: https://testwiki.hostwiki.io/sitemap.xml

Limitations

• Does not handle splitting the sitemap in the event of exceeding the 50,000 URL limit for sitemaps
• It regenerates the sitemap every 24 hours (will be configurable in future updates)
• Only supports postgres (need MYSQL or SQLite support? create an issue)

Requirements

• Wiki.js (with Postgres, MySQL or MariaDB)
• Reverse proxy (e.g Nginx, Apache)

To use, you must be serving your Wiki.js instance over a reverse proxy server.

Installation

.env config file content

The service is exposed via port 3012 to avoid any port conflicts with Wiki.js.

Standalone Nodejs

Edit the .env to include your database credential.

git clone https://github.com/hostwiki/wikijs-sitemap
cd wikijs-sitemap
npm ci install

Start the server with

node server

To keep the nodejs program running, you can use pm2 or run it as a service.

Docker

Make sure to pass the correct environment variables.
The DB_TYPE accepts postgres, mysql and mariadb as possible values. It defaults to postgres if not set.
You use DB_PASS or DB_PASS_FILE to set your database password.

-e DB_TYPE=postgres
-e DB_HOST=
-e DB_PORT=
-e DB_PASS=
-e DB_USER=
-e DB_NAME=

Docker Compose

You can find a Docker Compose examples for Postgres and MySQL in the example directory.

Docker create

If you wish to run it via docker create:

docker create --name=wikijs-sitemap -e DB_TYPE=postgres -e DB_HOST=db -e DB_PORT=5432 -e DB_PASS_FILE=/etc/wiki/.db-secret -v /etc/wiki/.db-secret:/etc/wiki/.db-secret:ro -e DB_USER=wiki -e DB_NAME=wiki --restart=unless-stopped --network=wikinet -p 3012:3012 hostwiki/wikijs-sitemap:latest

docker start wikijs-sitemap

Docker run

If you wish to run it via docker run:

docker run --name wikijs-sitemap -e DB_TYPE=postgres -e DB_HOST=db -e DB_PORT=5432 -e DB_PASS_FILE=/etc/wiki/.db-secret -v /etc/wiki/.db-secret:/etc/wiki/.db-secret:ro -e DB_USER=wiki -e DB_NAME=wiki --restart=unless-stopped --network=wikinet -p 3012:3012 -d hostwiki/wikijs-sitemap:latest

After a successful setup, the sitemap will be available at localhost:3012/sitemap.xml. Next, you have to proxy it via a reverse proxy server like Nginx or Apache.

Reverse proxy configuration for Nginx

location /sitemap.xml {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3012/sitemap.xml;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}

Reverse proxy configuration for Apache

Make sure to install the necessary Apache mods.

sudo a2enmod proxy proxy_http

Then add this to your Wiki.js apache configuration file.

ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /sitemap.xml http://localhost:3012/sitemap.xml
ProxyPassReverse /sitemap.xml http://localhost:3012/sitemap.xml
