Hosting
Running my privat wikis on webfaction.com (shared hosting) with a simple hosting plan (around 10$ a month) and also some bussiness stuff on a debian/ubuntu server. If anybody need helps just ask!
uWSGI Server
My ini file looks like this:

and add a param "trusted_proxies" with your current proxy ip:
from MoinMoin.web.serving import ProxyTrust application = make_application(shared=False, trusted_proxies=['127.0.0.1',])

HTTPS / HTTP
Sometimes you want to run your website with http and after the user login in switch to https, I did the following:
Modified in the theme the "def username" with return html.replace('href="/','href="https://www.heavy.ch/') (user clicks on login, sites goes to https)}
I hosting my static file on an other sub-domain, thats why I use this syntax: url_prefix_static = '//heavy.ch/htdocs/wiki' note the // - this is a protocol-relative URL
Limit Search
You can configure your MoinMoin that the search works only if it has a minimum lenght and don't accept regular express (using too much memories on my system). You just have to modify (or copy into your local action plugin directory) the source from MoinMoin (action/fullsearch.py). the reason is, that otherwise a search for r:* is using too much memory (for my shared hosting enviroment).

logrotate
I'm not sure if it is usefull for anybody, but I just configure logrotate to rotate the main moinmoin logfiles, e.g. edit-log and event-log.
logrotate.conf
monthly
rotate 12
create
minsize 5M
# rock
/home/moin/var/data/rock/event-log {
size 5M
nocreate
}
/home/moin/var/data/rock/edit-log {
size 5M
nocreate
}script for starting logrotate (while stopping moinmoin):
/home/moin/bin/<dir-to-moin-data> stop wait echo "Starting logfile rotation" logrotate -s /home/moin/etc/logrotate.status /home/moin/etc/logrotate.conf wait /home/moin/bin/<dir-to-moin-data> start
Drawback is, that you will loose your page visits (hitcounts) on moinmoin and also the RecentChanges.. so maybe not good for everybody 
Statistics
I use Piwik for Web Analytics. For this I need first to setup this PHP/MySQL application (in this example under piwik.wikwiki.ch) and then add to wikiconfig or every farmwiki the page_footer2. you always need to change the idsite=x to match the configuration in your piwik site configuration.
Example in my wikiconfig.py/MyFarm.py:
page_footer2 = """
<!-- Piwik -->
<div><a href="http://piwik.org" title="Open source analytics" onclick="window.open(this.href);return(false);">
<script type="text/javascript">
var pkBaseURL = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://piwik.wikiwiki.ch/" : "http://statistik.wikiwiki.ch/");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + pkBaseURL + "piwik.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script><script type="text/javascript">
piwik_action_name = '';
piwik_idsite = 2;
piwik_url = pkBaseURL + "piwik.php";
piwik_log(piwik_action_name, piwik_idsite, piwik_url);
</script>
<object><noscript><p>Open source analytics <img src="http://piwik.wikiwiki.ch/piwik.php?idsite=2" style="border:0" alt=""/></p></noscript></object></a></div>

Speed Up the MissingPage
We have a big wiki, where we use also use an hierarchical page structured approach. It can easily happen that a page contains around 1000 sub pages. to add then a new sub pages it's takes around 5-20s to load first the missin page (from the underlay). the problem is the included macro with call the action LikePages. This is very slow and it seems the problem lays how it calculating/finding the matches... my solution was just to add a new MissingPage page and removing the macro LikePages. Not nice but working for me
Use Search Syntax in Include
A simple patch to use the search for include also.
