- get IP address (currently 100.127.141.126)
- authorize on Skiznet store
- obtain /srv/mdwiki-cacher/data/dbparams.json file to access mdwiki.org database
- su - www-data -s /bin/bash -c '/srv/mdwiki-cacher/mk-combined-tsv.py -f'
- su - www-data -s /bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/python3 -i /srv/mdwiki-cacher/load-mdwiki-cache.py -i'
- this will exit after which run
- rebuild_cache()
- Edit /srv/mdwiki-cacher/config.json

- mdwiki-cacher.wsgi - root (can be www-data) and 644
- add the following to /etc/crontab:
# for mdwiki-cacher
