Docker

Docker is a virtualization software that allows administrators and developers to use "containers" to share environments containing software. These containers are isolated from other software running on the same computer. Docker is one way to deploy and run MediaWiki.

The Docker SIG is a Special Interest Group for people working with MediaWiki and related technologies on Docker.

Available images
There are no recommended or supported MediaWiki docker images yet. MediaWiki will soon have with it a simple Docker image intended for development. It is likely that official MediaWiki releases will be made in Docker image form in the future. Wikimedia production will be moving to use Docker images as part of the "Streamlined Services Delivery" program for continuous deployment, early versions of which are published, but these are bespoke and will not be useful for third parties.

In the mean time, there are several sources of possible images shown below; you should use these at your own risk:


 * The initially-run-by-Docker "official" repository for MediaWiki is described at Docker/Hub; despite the label, these are not official and not supported.
 * The MediaWiki-Docker-Dev project has builds

 * https://github.com/rlewkowicz/docker-mediawiki-stack/tree/REL1_28
 * https://github.com/pastakhov/compose-mediawiki-ubuntu (MediaWiki + Memcached + Parsoid + RESTBase + Elasticsearch + Vagrant).
