Is MediaWiki-Docker-Dev abandoned? Should we denote that at the top of the article?

I made this edit based on this Talk: page entry for MediaWiki-Docker-Dev, in which a WMF account states that MediaWiki-Docker-Dev is an independent initiative the predates the core environment. Since this project seems more active, and that Talk: page was last edited 3 years ago, can someone here enlighten me regarding the actual status? Is there a good template (something like w:Template:ambox) that can be plastered on the top of MediaWiki-Docker-Dev to state that it's abandoned, to avoid confusing people (like me) who search for "docker"? --Ernstkm (talk) 21:34, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

I think you should ask on Talk:MediaWiki-Docker-Dev rather than here. This is the officially-supported environment for running MW for local development that's included with MediaWiki, but other systems exist for different use cases.

MediaWiki-Docker-Dev does, in fact, already have a {{notice}} at the top stating that it's no longer maintained, which I am apparently completely blind to. So disregard all. Thanks for your patience.

All doc pages are wrong?

Summary by ZFilipin (WMF)

Updated pages.

There is no <code>core</code> directory under mediawiki. All the extension etc. doc pages start with <code>cd mediawiki/core</code>. Was this changed at some point and docs not updated?

KHarlan (WMF) (talkcontribs)

You're right, the main page says clone to "mediawiki" and then each extension page says go to mediawiki/core.


The extension pages should probably say "cd /path/to/where/you/cloned/mediawiki" or just say, "make sure you are in the MediaWiki core directory before proceeding".

I updated one (Echo) from where I forked Translate.

ZFilipin (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Apologies for the late reply. I took a look a the majority of the pages. (I'm still working on the last few.) 41% of the pages I've looked seem to be correct. (My assumption is that if repository's Selenium test suite passes, the extension/skin is installed correctly.) See T256239. I'll update the pages so they follow a better template. See MediaWiki-Docker/Extension/AbuseFilter for an example. Please let me know if you have any feedback or questions. Here or in Phabricator.

docker to host small wikis

I have created one docker setup that I used to develop and my private wiki instances. https://github.com/physikerwelt/mediawiki-docker I am now considering to restart that project based on the docker compose file provided by core. I am planning to change

  • the database
  • the caching mechanism
  • search
  • passwords
  • LocalSettings

Is there something else I should change to the *bad things* which are described in the warning in the beginning of the quick-start.

phab:T256470 task is created.

Would it make sense to simplify the page by moving all text to a sub-page? Similar to Selenium and Blubber. I would like to avoid this page eventually looking like MediaWiki-Vagrant.

I've created phab:T256470. We can discuss the details there.
