Docker MediaWiki with VisualEditor

Docker image for MediaWiki 1.34.2 with VisualEditor plugin. The image is based on the kristophjunge/mediawiki image but has been simplified, and slightly updated, so that it runs the latest MediaWiki release.

Features

• MediaWiki 1.34.2
• Nginx
• PHP-FPM
• VisualEditor plugin
• UserMerge plugin
• Parsoid running on NodeJS
• Imagick for thumbnail generation
• Intl for Unicode normalization
• APC as in-memory PHP object cache
• Configured with Short URLs

Usage

The image is to be used behind a proxy service like Traefik. It does not contain a LocalSettings.php configuration file and expects that this file is mounted as a separate volume. Consequently, it does not provide any environment variables for customization. A sample LocalSettings.php file is included.

A typical docker-compose file, in this case using Traefik, will look like the following:

mediawiki:
    image: timschroeder/mediawiki
    container_name: mediawiki
    depends_on:
      - mediawiki-db
    networks:
      - internal
      - proxy
    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.backend=mediawiki
      - traefik.docker.network=proxy
      - traefik.port=8080
      - traefik.frontend.rule=Host:my.domain.com
    volumes:
      - /opt/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php:/var/www/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php
      - /opt/mediawiki/images:/var/www/mediawiki/images
    restart: always
    
mediawiki-db:
    image: mysql
    container_name: mediawiki-db
    command: ["--default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password"]
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "3308:3306"
    volumes:
      - /opt/mediawiki-db:/var/lib/mysql
    networks:
      - internal
    labels:
      - traefik.enable=false
 
networks:
    proxy:
        external: true
    internal:
        external: false

Give permissions 999:999 to the volumes you mount inside the container.
