Oh, not at all. With Raspian, that's essentially Debian, so at least with
Apache, I just tell it to accept connections (couple ways to do that), and
config the firewall/DMZ to forward the port(s) to it. I had a local wiki
accessible from outside once, though for security reasons I used ssh port
forwarding to get to it. That's another way.

Super easy. Untar to /some/path, and set up the webserver alias, e.g. wiki
to /some/path, then http://localhost/wiki/ in the browser, run the config
script. You need PHP, no database. I back it up using rdiff-backup.
