Intranet
My company are still using the original wiki from 2011 that is documented here but it has changed somewhat and quite a few things have moved on since then and these docs have fallen behind. I'm doing a major overhaul of these docs but will try to do the changes incrementally and in useful chunks to avoid breaking them too much. Gerdesj (talk) 21:32, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

[edit]These pages present a series of processes to put together a MediaWiki for an intranet with the following goals:
- Demonstrable build - Each article in this guide has a section describing what has been tested with that article and when
- TODO: Ref build on Ubuntu 26.04
- Safe upgrades - You have to do the testing for your environment but the described processes have been tested multiple times and notes provided
- Minimum amount of software - keep it simple
- Get the latest stuff
- TODO: git and composer.local.json
- AD authentication with Single Sign On via Kerberos/GSSAPI and some basic authorisation via LDAP
- TODO: migrate from auth_remoteuser to pluggableauth => authremoteuser + openidconnect (Login with Kerb and login with MS)
- Browser configuration for Kerberized SSO is described
- TODO: All major browsers on Linux and Windows have GPOs available
