Playbook to prepare a small MediaWiki Host

mediawiki-provisioning

The Ansible playbook in this repository is intended for preparation of a lean and simple MediaWiki without any other installation steps necessary.

The supported target operating system is Debian as prepared with a reasonable default installation for ssh-server and all other options deselected. (See preseed-file in this repository as an example.)

Preparation

Configure relevant hosts in inventory.properties or your global Ansible hosts file (if you haven't done so).

Be sure to have your ssh public key installed for the intended login user and this user may become root on the remote side.

As a second step create a copy of the sites/demo folder and change the file configuration.yml as needed. Add and configure a logo and favicon. Also a copy of a MediaWiki database file might be presented here, if you don't want to start with the empty content set provided.

Setup of the Environment

We rely on the role mediawiki for all coremedia hosts.

Usage

Run with:

ansible-playbook -i inventory.properties setup.yml

or for any non-demo site

ansible-playbook -e site_name=mysite -i inventory.properties setup.yml

The only user present after installation of the provided database is demo with a password demopassword and a mail address of demo@my.domain.

Collection

This playbook provides:

MySQL
PHP
Apache httpd
MediaWiki

for hosts in role mediawiki.
