Q
How can I have an automatic navigation in my sidebar?
A
Best install one of the plugins tagged with 'menu' or plugins tagged with 'navigation'.
In many cases you will also need to add the ~~NOCACHE~~ macro when using a plugin which changes the sidebar's appearance per page or namespace.

Q
How do I add a sidebar in Docowiki?
A
If you're using the new default template (or any other template which supports sidebars out of the box), you already have a sidebar functionality. If you are using a different template, there are basically two ways to add a sidebar functionality:
Either choose a template which already comes with a sidebar, see templates tagged with 'sidebar'. (There might be some which are missing the tag, so be sure to check out all of the templates.)
Or install a plugin which will add a sidebar to your template, see plugins tagged with 'sidebar'.
Using a template which includes a sidebar functionality is often a better choice, as that sidebar will already be optimized to fit into the template's design and layout.

Q
How can I browse the contents of the servers I'm connected to Docuwiki ?
A
You cannot. The servers themselves have no contents at all, they just provide some communication hub, so clients can find each other. All you can do is to browse the contents of other users, but this option is disabled by default for security reasons. You don't really want everyone peeking into your shared drive. All you can do is to search for certain files and look at the results. But there is no list of all files shared (on Razorback this would be 40Million) Moreover Kademlia works without any servers in a real P2P network.
Q
What about virtual hosts under sites-enabled and sites-available?
A
Here it is simple scenario that is why the virtual hosts are created under default.conf file you basically need to create it under sites-available and later create symlink to sites-enabled
