# Zim
|
|
|
|
The Zim module facilitates viewing, organizing, and downloading Zim files provided by the Kiwix project.
|
|
|
|
## Viewer
|
|
|
|
The Viewer tab is a simple iframe around the Kiwix service on port `:8085`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Manage
|
|
|
|
The Manage tab displays a list of Zim files that WROLPi has detected, allowing for search and viewing capabilities.
|
|
It also offers a catalog from which select Kiwix Zim files can be subscribed to. The maximum sizes are estimates, based
|
|
on the historical data of each specific Zim file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Subscriptions
|
|
|
|
Zim files in the subscription list will be downloaded every 180 days. WROLPi will suggest deleting old Zim files through
|
|
a message on the home page, if any are detected at startup. You can safely unsubscribe from any Zim file without
|
|
automatic deletion of files.
|
|
|
|
### Custom Zim files
|
|
|
|
WROLPi will search any Zim file found in the `zims` directory, but not every project from Kiwix can be found in the
|
|
subscription list. If you would like to download a specific Zim file, use the **Files Downloader** and save the file to
|
|
the `zims` directory. (You may need to restart your WROLPi for the new Zim file to be found.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Kiwix without WROLPi
|
|
|
|
WROLPi comes with Kiwix pre-installed, this application allows you to use your zim files even if the React App is not
|
|
working.
|
|
|
|
### Raspberry Pi
|
|
|
|
Kiwix can be started by navigating: `Applications Menu > Education > Kiwix`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any zim file can be opened using the "Open" button on the top right of the Kiwix application. Zim files are usually
|
|
stored in `/media/wrolpi/zims`. |
