Some security tips that will become more professional in future:

run "yum -y update" on CentOS-based XSCE school servers, to download and automatically install recent security updates, if you have a reasonably fast connection, and are willing to take risks with certain packages breaking.

if you notice Wikipedia-like item are no longer accessible from http://schoolserver.lan, try running the following as root:

 xsce-make-kiwix-lib
 systemctl restart kiwix-serve

if ownCloud updates itself, users visiting http://schoolserver.lan/owncloud may face error message "You don't have permission to access /owncloud on this server." Fix guideline forthcoming.
