Docker MediaWiki Server
Docker MediaWiki Server
Notes and configuration files for setting up MediaWiki with nginx-proxy for Let's Encrypt SSL certs.
This guide is comprised of two methods for building a dockerized MediaWiki site:
- From the official MediaWiki docker image - easiest for beginners and those who just want to stand up a site (simple)
- From scratch - allows you to tweak the image more from the start and can be more complicated (advanced)
Regardless of the method used, this guide will also include any extensions you have in the build/extensions folder.
nginx-proxy
- Create /srv/nginx-proxy
- Add this file
docker-compose.yml
docker-compose.yml
version: '2'
services:
nginx-proxy:
image: jwilder/nginx-proxy
container_name: nginx-proxy
environment:
- "HTTPS_METHOD=noredirect"
labels:
- "com.github.jrcs.letsencrypt_nginx_proxy_companion.nginx_proxy"
ports:
- "80:80"
- "443:443"
restart: always
volumes:
- "./data/etc/certs:/etc/nginx/certs"
- "./data/etc/nginx/vhost.d:/etc/nginx/vhost.d"
- "./data/etc/nginx/htpasswd:/etc/nginx/htpasswd"
- "./data/etc/nginx/html:/usr/share/nginx/html"
- "/var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro"
letsencrypt:

Dockerfile
Simple
Copy the following to /srv/wiki/build/Dockerfile
Note: You can change the version of the MediaWiki docker image used by changing the FROM line.
FROM mediawiki:1.35.3 COPY ./extensions /var/www/html/extensions
Advanced
Note: You can change the version installed by changing:
- ENV MEDIAWIKI_MAJOR_VERSION 1.36
- ENV MEDIAWIKI_VERSION 1.36.1
To change to version 1.35 (LTS until 2023) you can substitite 1.35 and 1.35.3 for the values above.
Copy the following to /srv/wiki/build/Dockerfile

LocalSettings File
- Download when prompted
- Stop the wiki with docker-compose down
- Copy LocalSettings.php to the /srv/wiki directory
- Uncomment the #- /srv/wiki/LocalSettings.php:/var/www/html/LocalSettings.php line in the /srv/wiki/docker-compose.yml file
