Command to check your OS, for this project we will be using Armbian:
$ cat /etc/os-release
Download mediawiki: $ wget https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-1.40.1.tar.gz
Unzip the tar: $ tar -xzvf mediawiki-*.tar.gz
MediaWiki requires: - PHP 7.4.3+ - a webserver software - and either MariaDB 10.3.0+, MySQL 5.7.0+, SQLite 3.8.0+ or PostgreSQL 10.0+. Using MariaDB or MySQL is recommended as Wikipedia uses MariaDB.
Install PHP: $ sudo apt-get install php-fpm
Check the version: $ php -v
Check the version of nginx: $ nginx -v
Install database software (MariaDB): $ sudo apt-get install mariadb-server
Set up nginx configuration to serve the wiki. Here’s an example nginx configuration: https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/wiki-to-print/src/branch/master/wiki-to-print.nginx.example
Make a symbolic link (symlink) between the configurations in /sites-available and /sites-enabled: $ ln sites-available/wiki2print.conf sites-enabled/wiki2print.conf
First, check if the nginx configuration works, before reloading: $ nginx -t
If it works, hold your breath and reload nginx: $ sudo systemctl reload nginx or $ service nginx reload
Edit the wiki2print.conf file, based on this example: https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/wiki-to-print/src/branch/master/wiki-to-print.nginx.example
Enable PHP. Installing some PHP extensions are required: $ sudo apt install php-mbstring $ sudo apt install php-xml $ sudo apt install php-intl
