Reading/Web/Setting up a Proton staging environment

Setting up a staging environment for the Proton project is markedly similar to setting up a staging environment for MobileFrontend.

Differences from setting up MobileFrontend staging environment

Set up the instance

ssh to the instance and run the following commands:

sudo puppet agent -tv
cd /srv/mediawiki-vagrant
vagrant roles enable offline
# For testing printing RTL language pages to PDF.
vagrant roles enable interwiki
# The proverbial kitchen sink.
vagrant roles enable cite parserfunctions scribunto
vagrant up --provision

Fetching page content from the Wikipedias

The PDF renderer can be configured for fetch page content from a Wikipedia via RESTBase by adding the following to /vagrant/settings.d/10-VirtualRestConfig.php:

<?php

$wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['restbase'] = [
  'url' => 'https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/',
  'domain' => 'en.wikipedia.org',
  'forwardCookies' => false,
  'fixedUrl' => true,
] + $wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['restbase'];
