Semanticmediawiki: Docker support for SemanticMediaWiki

Created on 19 Oct 2015 · 13Comments · Source: SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki

Travis and Google Engine support docker as infrastructure component, maybe its time to build a package that allows for easy deployment of SemanticMediaWiki in professional environments.

Rather being targeted towards individual users, this could help to provide support for host providers that are currently reluctant to install SMW and help to increase its installed base.

We would expect a mediawiki-base package as requirement
We want the image to use composer/composer to install all specified SMW dependencies
The docker container should allow for defining the MW release and SMW release

I've used SMW inside my docker image, checkout https://github.com/milcord/docker-internal-mediawiki which is a docker image extended from my base image ( https://github.com/benhutchins/docker-mediawiki ) and adds in SMW along with some other extensions. Should be a good base for anyone.

A developer has provided a docker container for a specific SMW installation. Maybe this is of help?
