Motivation
Official Mediawiki docker images are available for the different Mediawiki versions.
These images need additional infrastructure to create useable Mediawiki environments.
docker run --name local-mediawiki -p 8080:80 -d mediawiki
will only install part of a LAMP environment to install Mediawiki and make it available via http://localhost:8080/. E.g. the database needs to be installed separately.
The goal of this project is to semi-automatically create such environments and test the functionality. Python was choosen as a development environment for the libraries that are needed and available to perform the tasks:
- https://github.com/gabrieldemarmiesse/python-on-whales - to automate the docker configuration and start
python on whales was chosen over:
Since it works on the command line interface and not via the SDK and 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. The graphic belows shows the docker containers which are created for different versions of Mediawiki
