- Your ZIM files go in `` /library/zims/content ``
- Your ZIM index files used to go in directories under `` /library/zims/index `` (these index files are increasingly no longer necessary, as most ZIM files produced since 2017 contain an internal search index instead!)
2023-05-14 02:22:01 +00:00
- The URL is http://box/kiwix or http://box.lan/kiwix (both proxied for AWStats, Matomo, ETC)
2022-05-27 22:55:28 +00:00
- Use URL http://box:3000/kiwix if you want to avoid the proxy

Your `` /library/zims/library.xml `` (containing essential metadata for the ZIM files you've installed) can be regenerated if necessary, by running:
`` /usr/bin/iiab-make-kiwix-lib ``
