Here you do not need to use 'localhost' if you'd like other people in the lan 
to see the wiki. You need to use the [domain] (aka a local ip such as 10.1.1.17 
or 192.168.1.23).

Or even better a local domain pointing to such local ip as it's easier to 
remember

you can find your local ip using 'ifconfig' or 'ipconfig' in your os 
commandline prompt
