Datas Mediawiki

Setup

To setup your own instance of our mediawiki:

1. clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/dtekcth/mediawiki-instance.git

2. Initialize submodules by running

git submodule update --init --recursive

This should give you something like

Submodule 'extensions/UserMerge' (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-UserMerge.git) registered for path 'extensions/UserMerge'
Submodule 'extensions/VisualEditor' (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-VisualEditor.git) registered for path 'extensions/VisualEditor'
Cloning into '/[folder]/mediawiki-instance/extensions/UserMerge'...
Cloning into '/[folder]/mediawiki-instance/extensions/VisualEditor'...
Submodule path 'extensions/UserMerge': checked out 'f6b8e05583e2c7a07f918381f9772b456259b625'
Submodule path 'extensions/VisualEditor': checked out '6854ea0e7a0a8248c2c27498c9fd0cab5462c9c4'
Submodule 'lib/ve' (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/VisualEditor/VisualEditor.git) registered for path 'extensions/VisualEditor/lib/ve'
Cloning into '/[folder]/mediawiki-instance/extensions/VisualEditor/lib/ve'...
Submodule path 'extensions/VisualEditor/lib/ve': checked out 'a64ba1cc623865eaaeafad0c74926eab59b79ac5'

3. The sensitiveSettings.php.template needs to be moved to sensitiveSettings.php and the variables configured properly.

   • The $wgSMTP is optional and is needed if the wiki should be able to send email. Useful for verifying emailaddress.
   • The database settings need to be configured according to the settings you enter during the web-configuration phase later on Note: if these settings are changed from the default in the template you also need to change them in docker-compose.yml
   • The $wgSecretKey needs to be a 64 characters long random string. Mediawiki uses this for cryptography so make sure this isn't leaked
   • The $wgUpgradeKey is used during the web-configuration phase later on

4. Start the containers with docker-compose up -d

5. time for web-configuration, go to localhost:8081/mw-config to configure the wiki and follow the instructions

6. This is as far as this guide will take you. Becuase of how the LocalSettings are configured you need to change the domain from wiki.dtek.se in order to make it work on another domain. At the moment it redirects you to the actually instance setup there. If you need to have more information about this contact @hallavad
