Ready from your end? Running install tests: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/actions/runs/5366345297
And will do a quick test on VM afterwards to have a look at PHP log and possible admin panel warnings.

[Joulinar]

Yes from my side I'm done. Ready for testing.

• Added all required PHP modules to be installed and enabled
• Added Nginx and Lighttpd configs to set a security header for the image upload directory
• Lighttpd: Find out how to unset a fastcgi.server directive for a sub directory, to prevent PHP scripts within the image upload dir form being executed. On Nginx this is the case automatically by simply having the /wiki location block added for the header, on Apache this is done via .htaccess shipped with MediaWiki.
• Add access denial directives for certain sub directories to Nginx and Lighttpd configs, following the .htaccess files shipped with the archive

Works fine. I'll merge this for the beta, will take care of the above ToDo later.

Very strange that the LocalSettings.php is not automatically stored to the wiki directory but that one needs to download and upload it manually. The PHP user has write permissions, but probably this is not intended? Write permissions for /cache and /images is definitely needed, probably other sub directories, but likely not the root. Does it have an internal updater?

So another task:

• Check for and apply minimal required permissions

[Joulinar]

Yeah not sure why they doing it that complicate to create initial configuration file.

[Ernstian]

Wouldn't it be possible to create a LocalSettings.php during the installation? Most variable settings should be given by the installation script anyway (database stuff, for example)

[Joulinar]

Creating the file is not the challenge but you would need to complete the first run setup process of MediaWiki still, to create database content, users aso. And this config step is starting only, if no LocalSettings.php is present. From our side we don't have any influence into the MediaWiki configuration process.
