Intranet
Meta
editIt's been a while since I updated these docs. I'll get on to it soon. I'm moving towards docs that have demonstrable verification notes at each stage which should be ISO 9000/27000 friendly (think: verifiable design to deployment)
I am now starting to tend towards stock Debian for my base servers. Ubuntu has been very decent in the past but snap is not my bag. I like my Pets [1]
Clients, ie web browsers have changed somewhat too and that page needs some love - there are loads of AD GPOs to play with and other handy enterprise grade stuff
Extensions was always a bit of a dump - I'll update it with my current list real soon or ditch it if it looks a bit useless
Wiki Installation is fairly current and still useful

These pages present a series of processes to put together a MediaWiki for an intranet with the following goals:
- Demonstrable build - Each article in this guide has a section describing what has been tested with that article and when
- Safe upgrades - You have to do the testing for your environment but the described processes have been tested multiple times and notes provided
- Minimum amount of software - keep it simple
- Get the latest stuff
- AD authentication with Single Sign On via Kerberos/GSSAPI and some basic authorisation via LDAP
- Browser configuration for Kerberized SSO is described
