Excellent answer!
Does someone have a good guide? The guides I find are a few years old

What Is Kiwix?
Kiwix is a non-profit organization and a free and open-source software project dedicated to providing offline access to free educational content. The name “Kiwix” is a play on the word “Wiki” as it represented our initial goal of making Wikipedia accessible offline.

It still does? They have a version for people with internet access, and a version for people without, with a heavy dose of offline applications and information. You can also download more offline resources after you install it.

Just download a copy of a recent wikipedia dump. You can open it in the Kiwix desktop application (work fine even on an old laptop), the android app (though I’ve never tried opening a full 100GB dump with a phone, not sure if it would work well), or install the
kiwix-toolpackage and serve the.zimfile withkiwix-serve(wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-serve). You’d also probably want a reverse proxy/usual basic web server/security setup around that.

So it’s like a LibraryBox with an Archiver?

Second this, always have a device preloaded with Kiwix and one of the wikipedia dumps. A new vesrion is uploaded every few (~6 months). The full English wikipedia dump with images (low-res versions only though) is only 103GB.
