      Kiwix is the easiest way to do it; if you have Docker/Kubernetes, there’s a Docker image at ghcr.io/kiwix/kiwix-serve, and the K8s manifest to deploy is as simple as:

      apiVersion: v1
      kind: Service
      metadata:
        name: wikipedia-service
      spec:
        selector:
          app: kiwix-server
        ports:
        - port: 80
          targetPort: 8080
        clusterIP: None
      ---
      apiVersion: apps/v1
      kind: Deployment
      metadata:
        name: wikipedia-server
        labels:
          app: kiwix-server
      spec:
        replicas: 1
        selector:
          matchLabels:
            app: kiwix-server
        template:
          metadata:
            name: wikipedia-server
            labels:
              app: kiwix-server
          spec:
            containers:
            - name: kiwix-server
              image: kiwix/kiwix-serve:3.8.0
              imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
              command:
              - /usr/local/bin/kiwix-serve
              - --port=8080
              - --verbose
              - /data/wikipedia_en_all_maxi.zim
              ports:
              - containerPort: 8080
                protocol: TCP
              volumeMounts:
              - name: data
                mountPath: /data
                readOnly: true
                limits:
                  memory: "128Mi"
                  cpu: "2000m"
            volumes:
            - name: data
              persistentVolumeClaim:
                claimName: wikipedia-mirror
      

      Then you just need to download a copy of the mirror file wikipedia_en_all_maxi.zim and put it in the appropriate place - wget https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia_en_all_maxi.zim
