Thanks for the guide! Just a few things:
- Several links are broken in your preview, check out https://deploy-preview-1758--uberlab.netlify.app/guide_mediawiki/
- Please install directly into the DocumentRoot, not into https://.uber.space/mediawiki-1.41.1
|
@nichtmax I corrected one broken link, but couldn't see any others! What am I missing? 🙈 I don't understand your second point. The guide asked users to change into the document root, and install to there. |

Please add --strip-components=1 to your tar command, then the installation will be in the document root without any sub folder like /mediawiki-1.41.1.

| At this point, the wiki installer should be available at ``https://<UberspaceUsername>.uber.space/mediawiki-1.41.1/``, click *"complete the installation"* to start the graphical `configuration <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Config_script>`_. Leave default values or change as desired. On the "Connect to database" page: |

| When the graphical installation completes, locally download the ``LocalSettings.php`` that should have been automatically generated and transfer it to ``~/html/mediawiki-1.41.1`` on your Uberspace. This can be achieved using one of the tools suggested on :manual:`SFTP <basics-SFTP>` with host ``sftp://<UberspaceUsername>.uber.space`` and your Uberspace credentials. |

This is an initial draft for a MediaWiki installation. I see now the contributing guidelines suggest opening an issue first... sorry I didn't do that. (There is now #1759 😅)
I wrote it as I puzzled my way through, but then went through from the beginning again to check it all worked.
Advanced configuration, updates and backups not included.
