WP-MIRROR is a free utility for building and maintaining a set of mirrors of Wikipedias (a Wikipedia farm). The WikiMedia Foundation offers Wikipedias in nearly 300 languages. The user selects the set of languages to be mirrored.

Many users need off-line access, often for reasons of privacy, mobility, and availability. They currently use KIWIX which provides selected articles and thumbnail images. WP-MIRROR builds more complete mirrors including original size image files.

WP-MIRROR is designed for robustness.

WP-MIRROR by default mirrors the `simple' wiki (Simple English, meaning shorter sentences) which at 40G should fit on most laptops. Users may edit a configuration file (/usr/wp-mirror/local.conf) to specify a set of languages to be mirrored. Someone interested in the classics might configure: (el la simple zh-classical).

WP-MIRROR is noninteractive and normally runs in background as a weekly cron job, updating the mirrors when WikiMedia Foundation posts new dump files.

WP-MIRROR sets up a virtual host (e.g. <http://simple.mediawiki.site/>) so that the user may access the local mirrors using a web browser.
