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"

Dockerfile
There are two ways to create the Dockerfile for MediaWiki.
- simple uses the MediaWiki image and adds your extension(s) to it.
- advanced builds the MediaWiki image from scratch and adds your extension(s) to it.
For most users, the simple version of the Dockerfile will suffice.
Extract all extensions to the /srv/wiki/build/extensions directory.
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
- ENV MW_VERSION REL1_35
To change to version 1.35 (LTS until 2023) you can substitute 1.35, 1.35.3,and REL1_35 for the values above.
Copy the following to /srv/wiki/build/Dockerfile

CMD ["apache2-foreground"]
First start
- Update the /srv/wiki/docker-compose.yml file with the host, email and database password

- Login to wiki to complete setup (use https://<fqdn> specified in the files above)
Database connection details
When prompted for the database enter db://localhost
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
- chmod 755 the LocalSettings.php file

Misc
Preventing access
Note: You can also choose an access level at initial installation.

Upgrading
IMPORTANT: Read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading first for information about upgrading.
- Update /srv/wiki/build/Dockerfile. Either update version (simple) or make sure Dockerfile has the required dependencies and update version (advanced).
- Run docker-compose build
If step 2 is successful:
- Run docker-compose up -d
- Run docker-compose exec web bash
- Run cd maintenance
- Run php update.php
