Softvérové balíčky
Manuálna inštalácia MediaWiki môže byť pre používateľov bez predchádzajúcej technickej zručnosti namáhavá aj časovo náročná. Pre niektorých používateľov je jednoduchšie zoznámiť sa s Mediawiki prostredníctvom softvérového balíčka. Tieto softvérové balíčky obsahujú určitú kombináciu operačného systému, webového servera, databázového systému, iných potrebných knižníc, ako je PHP, softvér MediaWiki, balíček rozšírení a/alebo balíček šablon.
 Upozornenie: | Softvérové balíčky tretích strán nie sú revidované vývojármi ich jadra preto neexistuje záruka, že budú za každých okolností správne fungovať. Okrem toho môžu balíky obsahovať staršie verzie MediaWiki, takže venujte mimoriadnu pozornosť informáciám o kompatibilite aj pokynom pre používanie existujúcich rozšírení. Vývojový tím MediaWiki vás odkazuje ku konkrétnym komunitám a spoločnostiam, ktoré tieto softvérové balíky udržiavajú a poskytujú aj pomoc pri ich inštalácii, konfigurácii a používaní. |
MediaWiki stacks (all but operating system)
Use this solution if you want MediaWiki installed on your hard disk and executed in the conventional way (like most application software, more or less).
A stack, short for "solution stack", is a set of software that is often run together. MediaWiki can't run on its own, and requires several other programs to be loaded before it can work. Fortunately, easy-to-install bundled stacks, that include MediaWiki in them, are available.
Below are full packages that include MediaWiki, with supported operating system(s) specified:
- Bitnami MediaWiki Stack is available for Windows, Linux and OS X.
- Debian package of MediaWiki will install Apache, MariaDB/MySQL and PHP by default, allowing for further customization if you want.
- Meza is a MediaWiki administration program that enables the easy install and maintenance of Apache, MariaDB, PHP 7, MediaWiki including Semantic MediaWiki, Visual Editor, Elasticsearch, and many other extensions.
All you need is a minimal RedHat/CentOS install. Requires VirtualBox to run using Vagrant.
MediaWiki software appliances
A MediaWiki software appliance includes MediaWiki and all other necessary software preintegrated in a just-enough operating system. It allows users to altogether skip manual installation of MediaWiki and its dependencies, and instead deploy a self-contained, ready-to-use system that requires little to no setup, especially in combination with virtual machine software such as VirtualBox or VMware, or container software such as Docker.
Several third-party MediaWiki software appliances exist.
- Cloudron makes it easy to run web apps on your server and keep them up-to-date and secure.
The MediaWiki app installs MediaWiki on Cloudron and can be configured to be a public or private wiki. The installation can be tested at the demo (username: cloudron password: cloudron)
- TurnKey MediaWiki, based on Debian includes a pre-integrated collection of popular extensions.
Virtual machine-based
- MediaWiki-Vagrant is a set of configuration scripts for Vagrant that automate the creation and update of a virtual machine that runs MediaWiki and your choice of extensions and services (source code). This is ideal for MediaWiki developers.
- Webuzo MediaWiki, based on CentOS Linux. Runs on VMware.
NOTE: Requires Premium Webuzo License Purchase
(No extensions included.) Requires VMware or VirtualBox.
- semantic::core Enterprise class MediaWiki distribution including Semantic, Visual Editor, Elasticsearch and many more powerful extensions buliding upon VirtualBox
Container-based
- See also: Docker
- MediaWiki-Docker is the official development Docker environment for MediaWiki that is included in MediaWiki itself, starting with MediaWiki 1.35.
- Canasta is a Docker-based stack comprising everything needed to run a full-featured MediaWiki stack.
It includes the Canasta Docker image, which runs MediaWiki and the Apache web server. It can be orchestrated via either Docker Compose or Kubernetes. It includes job queue runner, maintenance scripts runner, automated database backups, zero-config MySQL database, ImageMagick, FFmpeg, and transcoder. Canasta supports VisualEditor, CirrusSearch, and over 100 other extensions out-of-the-box.
Automatic installation
The following websites provide a free service that enables MediaWiki to be installed, configured, and maintained using a website's FTP information.
For increased security, a separate FTP account and MySQL/MariaDB database should be created for use with such services.
Extension packages
Packages that only hold MediaWiki extensions include:
