I currently host a couple small wikis for worldbuilding information, but the hosting provider for that is going down in a few months, so I’m looking for ways to self host what I got.
I’ve never self hosted with Mediawiki before so this is brand new to me, I’ve already spent a couple hours messing around with Docker but haven’t gotten too far into that. OS is Manjaro/Endeavour Linux between two systems.
Not necessarily looking to host it online immediately to start with, though in the future I’d like to do so when I can get the proper hardware preparations for it, but for now I just want to host it locally to get it set up.
I’ve never worked with mediawiki, but if you’re looking for advice I’d recommend taking the time to figure docker out. Just about anything you want to self host is going to have a docker image for you, so it’s a time investment that will yield immediate and significant rewards.
I’m not a huge fan of network chuck, but if you need a getting started his videos are a pretty good jumping off point: https://youtu.be/eGz9DS-aIeY
Big +1 to this. Docker and docker-compose are worth the time to get comfortable with. For a lot of software you’ll find they come with a compose file to help you get started.
