Introduction

Install and run an Mediawiki instance with docker.

Deploy with CLI

Deploy Mediawiki

docker run --name mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=diouxx -e MYSQL_DATABASE=wikidb -e MYSQL_USER=wiki_user -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=wiki -d mysql:5.7.25
docker run --name mediawiki --link mysql:mysql -p 80:80 -d diouxx/mediawiki

Deploy Mediawiki with existing database

docker run --name wiki --link yourdatabase:mysql -p 80:80 -d diouxx/mediawiki

Deploy Mediawiki with database and persistence data

For an usage on production environnement or daily usage, it's recommanded to use container with volume to persistent data.

• First, create MySQL container with volume

docker run --name mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=diouxx -e MYSQL_DATABASE=wikidb -e MYSQL_USER=wiki_user -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=wiki --volume /var/lib/mysql:/var/lib/mysql -d mysql:5.7.25

• Then, create Mediawiki container with volume and link MySQL container

docker run --name wiki --link mysql:mysql --volume /var/www/html/wiki:/var/www/html/wiki -p 80:80 -d diouxx/mediawiki

Enjoy :)

Deploy with docker-compose

Deploy without persistence data ( for quickly test )

version: "3.2"

services:
#Mysql Container
  mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7.23
    container_name: mysql
    hostname: mysql
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=wikidb
      - MYSQL_USER=wiki_user
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=wiki

#Mediawiki Container
  mediawiki:
    image: diouxx/mediawiki
    container_name : wiki
    hostname: wiki
    ports:
      - "80:80"

Deploy with persistence data

To deploy with docker compose, you use docker-compose.yml and mysql.env file. You can modify mysql.env to personalize settings like :

• MySQL root password
• Mediawiki database
• Mediawiki user database
• Mediawiki user password

mysql.env

MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=diouxx
MYSQL_DATABASE=wikidb
MYSQL_USER=wiki_user
MYSQL_PASSWORD=wiki

docker-compose .yml

version: "3.2"

services:
#Mysql Container
  mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7.23
    container_name: mysql
    hostname: mysql
    volumes:
      - /var/lib/mysql:/var/lib/mysql
    env_file:
      - ./mysql.env
    restart: always

#Mediawiki Container
  mediawiki:
    image: diouxx/mediawiki
    container_name : wiki
    hostname: wiki
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /var/www/html/wiki/:/var/www/html/wiki
    restart: always

To deploy, just run the following command on the same directory as files

docker-compose up -d
