What is it?
MediaWiki is open source software used to create collaborative online wikis. It's the same software that powers projects like Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wiktionary. Originally developed by the Wikimedia Foundation, MediaWiki is highly customizable and allows users to collaboratively create, edit, and organize content on a website. It offers features such as the ability to create pages, internal and external links, text formats, and the ability to collaborate with other users through editing and discussing pages. Additionally, MediaWiki also includes advanced features such as access control, version management, and the ability to embed multimedia content.
The ideal is to host it on a server that has 24 hours of high availability, although it can also be installed locally for testing and later migrated to an external server.
Installation Types
It can be installed in several ways:
- With a script that installs everything in the traditional way. This is very difficult and laborious, it is worth putting it here in the future
- With a script that deplys a container that integrates it. With docker, for example, it will also be available soon.
- Traditionally, manually, step by step. This is the way we are going to deal in the short term.
- We are going to install it manually on an external server in this case with the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS version. Most of the steps are the same for previous and later versions, but with this version we can guarantee that it works 100% or at least very close to that percentage because these steps have not been tested to the maximum and will require time both to improve and its testing, so it is open to free editing.
We are going to put Apache, MySQL, PHP and Webmin. You can also use NGINX instead of Apache, but for now we will use Apache as it is the way that has been tested.
Installing the traditional way with Apache
We assume that you have access with administrator permissions to an Ubuntu server via ssh.
