Meeting notes for MediaWiki "Infrastructure" (Project Canasta) Discussion (Thurs Jan 21 16:30-17:30 UTC 2020)

Notes

The meeting voice transcription is available on the talk page.

  1. Introductions
  2. Yaron Listed the basic requirements for infrastructure
    • Looks like Lex is the only on that added anything
    • But is what you have here not working?
      • Lex I have it all working, but what I wrote is a high level overview
  3. Greg I don't think Meza/QualityBox is a good solution right now, I don't have time to work on it and it's not at 1.35 yet
    • Could we use the WMF Wikibase Docker image (from WMDE)? It has the benefit of being supported by the WMF
      • Yaron That might be a bad thing since we can't change it and might need to fork it anyway
      • Greg It could be a downstream fork
  4. Greg One thing I know for sure, never use Bitnami, that code is a mess
  5. Cindy There is an "official" Docker image made by David Barratt
    • Many people use this
    • MediaWiki Docker Dev by Adam Shoreland, can quickly build up a testing wiki with XD-Bug
    • The Docker image that Greg was talking about comes with SQL Light
    • The question is if this is for development or intended to "straight to production"?
      • If production, you need another layer of orchestration like Kubernetes
  6. Lex Lex asked Greg whether his Docker file contains anything related to MW or if it is MW agnostic?
    • I suggest an Apache container that is MW agnostic
    • Yaron It would be nice if the solution was easy and straightforward for the average Wiki Admin
    • Cindy Ideally it can handle the complexity with orchestration
    • Lex My solution can handle that
    • Cindy The nice thing about Meza is that it will take any CentOS base & turn it into a MW capable platform with everything required added as it needs it
    • Lex The abstraction layer you make the decisions is the Docker compose file
    • Cindy Kubernetes w/Docker is probably the way to handle orchestration
      • Whether to embed code inside the container or outside the volume
