Talk: MediaWiki
From NixOS Wiki
Now that there is `services.mediawiki` i think this article needs to be revised. I am somewhat struggling to get the whole setup running, there are just so many configuration options and it is not clear what actually needs to be done I was looking for a nixos container setup which gets requests forwarded from the host system but maybe it is enough to have mediawiki listen on the a port != 80 --Makefu (talk) 07:28, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
configuration examples
minimal configuration
- tested on NixOS 21.11
- with a working setup for networking
touch /run/keys/mediawiki-password$EDITOR /run/keys/mediawiki-password
cat /run/keys/mediawiki-password
this-is-an-initial-password-for-mediawiki
$EDITOR /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{
services.mediawiki.enable = true;
services.mediawiki.virtualHost.hostName = "mediawiki.example.org";
services.mediawiki.virtualHost.adminAddr = "admin@example.org";
services.mediawiki.passwordFile = "/run/keys/mediawiki-password";
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 80 ];
}
nixos-rebuild switch
fails
cp --preserve=all /var/lib/mediawiki/secret.key /var/lib/mediawiki/passwordFile
cat /run/keys/mediawiki-password > /var/lib/mediawiki/passwordFile
$EDITOR /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
# services.mediawiki.passwordFile = "/run/keys/mediawiki-password";
# services.mediawiki.passwordFile = "/tmp/configuration.nix_services_mediawiki_passwordFile";
services.mediawiki.passwordFile = "/var/lib/mediawiki/passwordFile";
nixos-rebuild switch
works
