Main page: Manual:Memcached
You can setup a Memcached backend by following the steps below. NOTE: Memcached runs on port 11211 by default.
docker-compose.override.yml
version: '3.7'
services:
memcached:
image: memcached
ports:
# expose the TCP service to the host
- "11211:11211"
Once you started all your containers restart it with docker compose restart and verified that the memcached container is running, you need to configure it LocalSetting.php:
$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED;
$wgMemCachedServers = [ "host.docker.internal:11211" ];
With the code above, refresh your Main_Page and if everything is still working, then congratulations.
Bonus: You can also check Docker Desktop to monitor the stats of this container to see topics like: Network I/O, Memory usage, CPU usage etc
