== Creating a Local Labs wiki ==
+
== Installation ==
 +
 
 +
Our MediaWiki instances are installed from git to allow easy rebasing of our changes on upgrades.
 +
For the full details on this installation method, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git
   −
* Add a group for the wiki (vigr)
+
The initial setup process (probably outdated now) lookd like this:
   −
  cd /srv/www-sugarlabs
+
  git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/core.git --branch REL1_34 wiki-devel
−
cp -a co.sugarlabs.org pe.sugarlabs.org
+
  cd wiki-devel
−
chown -R icarito:sugarwiki-pe pe.sugarlabs.org
+
  git submodule update --init
−
  cd pe.sugarlabs.org/wiki
  −
  rm -r images/*
  −
vim LocalSettings.php
  −
vim SecretSettings.php
     −
* Create apache virtual host:
+
Checkout additional extensions we wish to enable. For ease of management, check them out into extensions-all and then symlink them from extensions/
   −
  cp -a /etc/apache2/sites-available/pe.sugarlabs.org /etc/apache2/sites-available/ar.sugarlabs.org
+
EXTENSIONS=CheckUser ContributionScores HTMLets LastUserLogin LdapAuthentication MobileFrontend TimedMediaHandler UniversalLanguageSelector UserMerge VisualEditor Widgets
−
  vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/ar.sugarlabs.org
  −
  a2ensite ar.sugarlabs.org
     −
* Create DB with some clever trick. I reused <code>config/index.php</code> to setup a new MediaWiki instance and then I've thrown away the generated <code>LocalConfig.php</code>:
+
mkdir extensions-all
 +
for i in EXTENSIONS; do
 +
  git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/$i extensions-all/$i --branch REL1_34;
 +
  (cd extensions && ln -s ../extensions-all/$i);
 +
  composer update --no-dev
 +
done
   −
  mv LocalConfig.php LocalConfig.good
+
== Upgrading ==
−
  cp -a /srv/www-sugarlabs/co.sugarlabs.org/config .
  −
  (go to http://ar.sugarlabs.org/wiki/config/index.php)
  −
  rm -r config LocalConfig.php
  −
  mv LocalConfig.good LocalConfig.php
     −
* Create tables for OpenID:
+
'''Note:''' Before blindly following the procedure below, check the official documentation for anything that might have changed:
 +
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git#Keeping_up_to_date
   −
mysql -u root -p pe_sugarlabswiki < extensions/OpenID/openid_table.sql
+
We update our MediaWiki instances by simply pulling from the remote git repo and then switching to a different stable branch:
   −
== Installation ==
+
git fetch
 +
git branch -a | grep REL | sort -V
 +
git checkout -b REL1_XX origin/REL1_XX
 +
git submodule update --init --recursive
   −
Our MediaWiki instances are installed from git to allow easy rebasing of our changes on upgrades.
+
The "extensions-all" directory contains a bunch of git repositories stitched together with 'git submodule'.
 +
To update it:
   −
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/core.git wiki-devel
  −
cd wiki-devel
  −
git co -b REL1_19 remotes/origin/REL1_19
  −
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions.git extensions-all
   
  cd extensions-all
 
  cd extensions-all
−
  git submodule update --init
+
  for ext in *; do (cd $ext && git fetch && git checkout -b REL1_XX origin/REL1_XX); done
−
cd ../extensions
  −
# for each needed extensions
  −
ln -s ../extensions-all/EXT
  −
 
  −
For the full details on this installation method, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git
     −
== Upgrade notes ==
+
Along with the extensions, we would also need to update the skins to the latest release. We officially use Vector (fro Desktop) and Minerva Neue (for Mobiles, v1.35+, Minerva Neue is the official responsive theme used by Wikipedia).
   −
We update our MediaWiki instances by simply pulling from the remote git repo and then switching to a
+
cd skins
−
different stable branch:
+
for skin in *; do (cd $skin && git fetch && git checkout -b REL1_XX origin/REL1_XX); done
   −
git pull
+
Please revise if the following steps are still needed:
−
git co -b REL1_xx remotes/origin/REL1_xx
     −
The "extensions-all" directory contains a bunch of git repositories stitched together with 'git submodule'.
+
You also need to update some dependencies using a PHP manager called 'composer':
−
To update it:
     −
  cd extensions-all
+
  composer update --no-dev
−
git submodule update

=== Skins ===
 +
 +
As of this writing, the default skin vector is integrated into MediaWiki, and we don't load other skins in LocalSettings.php.
 +
 +
The skins also need to be updated from time to time (particularly after a major release). Instead of checking out hundreds od skins using the official process, we refresh only the skins that are installed:
 +
 +
cd skins
 +
for i in MonoBook Timeless; do
 +
  (cd $i && git fetch && git checkout -b REL1_34 origin/REL1_34)
 +
done
