Your username: teacher
Your home directory:/home/teacher

7.1 Create Network and Volumes with Portainer.

Open Portainer for create network and volumes.
http://192.168.60.8:9000

Click on Environments Local.

7.1.1 Each Mediawiki instance has its container.

  • cnt_mki_wb_number.
  • cnt_mki_db_number.
    Containers will be created from Casaos graphical interface.

7.1.2 Each Mediawiki instance has its network.

  • net_mki_number.
    Create net_mki_1.
Select Networks.  
Add network.  
Name : net_mki_1  
Add Driver options:  
Name : com.docker.network.bridge.name   value : net_mki_1  
Create the network.

Name: com.docker.network.bridge.name value : net_mki_1 is not specified, docker will give it a name as br-XXXX.

7.1.3 Each Mediawiki instance has its volume.

  • vol_mki_wb_number.
  • vol_mki_db_number.
    Create these volumes.
Select Volumes.  
Add volume.  
Name: vol_mki_wb_1  
Create the volume.  
Add the volume.  
Name: vol_mki_db_1  
Create the volume.

7.2 Install Mediawiki with a yaml script.

Copy this script in notepad, kate, gedit or another text editor
and save with a name that has a yaml extension.

Information.
If you want to change your Mediawiki instance in 2,
Edit this file and replace _1 by _2.
Then replace the port 8081 by 8082
and 33771 by 33772.
You will need to create a mediawiki_2 folder under /DATA/Documents/docker/files/
because the LocalSettings file will be different.

7.3 First Installation for initial setup.

Installing Mediawiki is done in 2 steps:

  • 1- After initial setup, download LocalSettings.php to the directory as /DATA/Documents/docker/files/mediawiki_1.
