Kiwix serve Docker image

With local ZIM file(s)

Download a ZIM file from https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Content
Given wikipedia.zim and wiktionary.zim reside in /tmp/zim/, execute the following:

docker run -v /tmp/zim:/data -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/kiwix/kiwix-serve wikipedia.zim wiktionary.zim

or, if you want to load all ZIM files within a directory, then use globbing:

docker run -v /tmp/zim:/data -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/kiwix/kiwix-serve '*.zim'

docker run -e "DOWNLOAD=https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia_bm_all.zim" -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/kiwix/kiwix-serve

You can change port to expose with environment variable PORT, useful if running on Podman, K8s or OpenShift

podman run -e "DOWNLOAD=https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia_bm_all.zim" -e PORT=8888 -p 8080:8888 ghcr.io/kiwix/kiwix-serve

Build an image for an ARM based GNU/Linux:

docker build . -t ghcr.io/kiwix/kiwix-serve:latest --build-arg ARCH="arm32v7/"

You can also deploy kiwix with docker-compose. Check out a sample at docker-compose.yml.example.
