I have a couple quick questions that I couldn't
really find the answer
to anywhere online. I'm trying to find the best way to have my local
copy of en-wiki be able to have images.
This i not easily feasible because all the images of wpen together make
a huge amount of data.
1. The image tarball from
your.org
<http://your.org> for en-wiki
(
http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/imagedumps/tarballs/fulls/20121201/)
is *around 2 terrabytes total!* Thats way too big for me.
Yes...
2. I'm also considering using *Wikix*, but I
couldn't find any recent
references to the size of images that would download (everything i
found was <2008)
Do you mean Kiwix?
3. And lastly, I'm wondering if there is a way to
turn a .ZIM file back
into database format to be able to import into mysql (I'm currently
running WAMP server solution).
No, because the mediawiki database contains wiki text and the ZIM file
contains HTML code.
But you may use kiwix-serve which is an HTTP server for ZIM files.
