⁠What is MediaWiki?

⁠Repo for Docker Files

https://github.com/lfkeitel/mediawiki-docker⁠

⁠How to use this image

docker run --name some-mediawiki --link some-mysql:mysql -d lfkeitel/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.

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 lfkeitel/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 lfkeitel/mediawiki

Then, access it via http://localhost:8080 or http://host-ip:8080 in a browser.
