Any way to download Wikipedia to my own Server

Hey everyone,

I recently saw this video of Thegeekpub where he showed his home network. He mentioned that he had a whole copy of wikipedia on his own server. I thought that was really cool and started looking up how I could do this on my own.. However I only found solutions to open it in an extra program... However thats not what I'm looking for.. I was hoping to get something going where I can simply use it whenever I am in my home network and open for example the page wiki/Linus_Sebastian and it would open it.. Now obviously it is no problem to point the internal dns to the Webserver it is running, but how can I get Wikipedia running on there? Thanks for your help.

For a simple setup:

https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Main_Page

 

kiwix-serve will give you a webserver.

 

This has tips for setting it up, as well as making a full mediawiki instance that would look just like the original but is very resource intensive.
