Over the last year I’ve been customizing my applications like Castopod and Dokuwiki, in order to make them easier to navigate by my users. I’m trying to build a sustainable setup where upgrades don’t break things I’ve manually customized in a text editor and I don’t waste hours reapplying changes. I’d rather invest time in doing it right this time.

This is my first time managing a self-hosted wiki long-term, so I want to establish good practices early… before I start telling everyone to join up. I also intend to share my findings with the larger Dokuwiki and Castopod projects, because I can see where I could submit some pull requests eventually.

Thanks for any advice!
