If you're installing Tiki Wiki 27, Tiki Wiki 29, or any version above from the git repository, you'll need to use the Tiki Build System that was recently introduced. When running setup.sh option "b" (build), you may encounter build failures due to memory allocation issues. This is a common problem that occurs when Node.js runs out of allocated memory while compiling JavaScript assets. Here's how we solve it for our clients and how you can fix it yourself.

In this video I’ll talk about:

• Tiki installations options
• How to install Git on your computer
• How to pull a Tiki branch from Git without all the history
• How to Upgrade, how to check status, etc.
• Git Workflow for developers
• What is changing for SVN Tiki contributors
• How to create your fork and setup your branch
• How to commit and submit your changes
• How to create a merge request and submit it for approval
• How to keep your branch up-to-date with the rest of the code
• Cherry-Picking (backport)
• Edit your commit message before push

In May 2025, the International Criminal Court lost access to its email system. Not because of a cyberattack or technical failure, but because Microsoft suspended the email account of ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan after the U.S. President imposed sanctions on him. With a single executive order from Washington, an American corporation reached into a European institution based in The Hague and flipped the switch. This isn't a hypothetical scenario. This digital dependency touches everyone – even Europe's most sensitive institutions, designed to protect citizens and uphold justice, operate on American infrastructure that can be shut down instantly.

Review the events of your daily life and you'll feel dizzy. You turn on your computer, check your smartwatch, ask Siri or Alexa to play music, start your car, make a phone call, send an email, calculate a route... Each time, you go through a service, a server, a technology made in the USA. From hardware (Intel, AMD, NVIDIA) to systems (Windows, iOS, Android) to applications (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoom), the dependency is systemic. And your habits, your life, your information, your photos... everything that goes online is no longer yours or your company's... How did we get here?

Why finance technological resources and pay technicians to manage resource consumption by bots or users who will never use your services because they are on the other side of the world? For any organization or business, leaving your servers open to the four winds is often an economic and security oversight that unnecessarily overloads your infrastructure. GeoIP Fencing, while not a requirement, becomes an attractive solution to transform your firewall into an intelligent digital "customs" gate. By filtering your incoming traffic by country, you eliminate a massive portion of network pollution and intrusion attempts from hostile nations, ensuring that every Euro invested is dedicated to an optimal, fluid, and secure experience for those who make up your legitimate audience.

After upgrading from Tiki Wiki 27 to Tiki 29, many users have discovered that their autocomplete functionality (used in CustomSearch for example) no longer works. The input field that previously showed suggestions as you typed now shows nothing at all. This can be particularly frustrating because there are no obvious error messages in the browser console, and the rest of your CustomSearch appears to function normally. The search still works, the results display correctly, but the helpful autocomplete suggestions have simply vanished. Find the solution in this article.

If you have some experience, you know that making backups isn’t the same as being secure. You have probably already heard this reassuring line: “No worries, we run an automatic backup of all files every day.” With a bit of bad luck, you may have already experienced the limits of that approach when it’s applied indiscriminately, without oversight or control.

At OpenSource Solutions, our years of experience have taught us a hard reality: having a backup doesn’t mean being able to restore. Day-to-day server and data operations require heightened vigilance, particularly when it comes to cyber resilience. One of the most insidious pitfalls is blind trust in snapshots or global (bulk) backups. In this article, we will provide a quick diagnosis of these practices and share our “recipe” to avoid losing anything—but above all, to ensure optimal operability in record time in the event of a disaster.
