⁠This container is ready for HTTPS configuration and use of Visual Editor extension since the necessary dependencies are installed.

⁠How to use this image

docker run --name some-mediawiki --link some-mysql:mysql -d anojht/mediawiki The following environment variables are also honored for configuring your MediaWiki instance:

-e MEDIAWIKI_DB_HOST=ADDR:PORT (defaults to the address and port of the linked mysql container) -e MEDIAWIKI_DB_USER=... (defaults to "root") -e MEDIAWIKI_DB_PASSWORD=... (defaults to the value of the MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD environment variable from the linked mysql container) -e MEDIAWIKI_DB_NAME=... (defaults to "mediawiki") If the MEDIAWIKI_DB_NAME specified does not already exist in the given MySQL container, it will be created automatically upon container startup, provided that the MEDIAWIKI_DB_USER specified has the necessary permissions to create it.

For easy acces to configuration and to persist your uploads and changes, mount the following container paths to your host: -v '/your-host-path/wiki':'/var/www/html':'rw' -v '/your-host-path/apache2':'/etc/apache2':'rw' -v '/your-host-path/parsoid':'/etc/mediawiki/parsoid':'rw'

To use with an external database server, use MEDIAWIKI_DB_HOST (along with MEDIAWIKI_DB_USER and MEDIAWIKI_DB_PASSWORD if necessary):

docker run --name some-mediawiki -e MEDIAWIKI_DB_HOST=10.0.0.1:3306 \ -e MEDIAWIKI_DB_USER=app -e MEDIAWIKI_DB_PASSWORD=secure anojht/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 --link some-mysql:mysql -p 8080:80 -d anojht/mediawiki Then, access it via http://localhost:8080⁠ or http://host-ip:8080⁠ in a browser.
