What is MediaWiki?

MediaWiki is free and open-source wiki software. Originally developed by Magnus Manske and improved by Lee Daniel Crocker, it runs on many websites, including Wikipedia, Wiktionary and Wikimedia Commons. It is written in the PHP programming language and stores the contents into a database. Like WordPress, which is based on a similar licensing and architecture, it has become the dominant software in its category.

How to use this image

The basic pattern for starting a mediawiki instance is:

$ docker run --name some-mediawiki -d mediawiki

If you'd like to be able to access the instance from the host without the container's IP, standard port mappings can be used:

$ docker run --name some-mediawiki -p 8080:80 -d mediawiki

Then, access it via http://localhost:8080 or http://host-ip:8080 in a browser.

There are multiple database types supported by this image, most easily used via standard container linking. In the default configuration, SQLite can be used to avoid a second container and write to flat-files. More detailed instructions for different (more production-ready) database types follow.

When first accessing the webserver provided by this image, it will go through a brief setup process. The details provided below are specifically for the "Set up database" step of that configuration process.

MySQL

$ docker run --name some-mediawiki --link some-mysql:mysql -d mediawiki

• Database type: MySQL, MariaDB, or equivalent
• Database name/username/password: <details for accessing your MySQL instance> (MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD, MYSQL_DATABASE; see environment variables in the description for mariadb)
• ADVANCED OPTIONS; Database host: some-mysql (for using the /etc/hosts entry added by --link to access the linked container's MySQL instance)

Volumes

By default, this image does not include any volumes.

The paths /var/www/html/images and /var/www/html/LocalSettings.php are things that generally ought to be volumes, but do not explicitly have a VOLUME declaration in this image because volumes cannot be removed.

$ docker run --rm mediawiki tar -cC /var/www/html/sites . | tar -xC /path/on/host/sites
