Motivation

Official Mediawiki docker images are available for the different Mediawiki versions.

These images need additional infrastructure to create useable Mediawiki environments. The goal of this project is to semi-automatically create such environments and test the functionality. Python was choosen to as a development environment for the libraries that are needed and available to perform the tasks:

• https://github.com/gabrieldemarmiesse/python-on-whales

python on whales was chosen over:

• https://pypi.org/project/docker/

Since it supports docker compose.

How it works

The core concept is a "MediawikiCluster" that is a set of docker applications that run MediaWiki instances with varying versions of MediaWiki and the underlying database.
