Odd question but is it possible to do this? What I mean is not to load it, as that's done through special skins abd stuff, but run it, like with xampp. I don't want to get a third party hosting service yet but I want to be able to access my mediawiki from anywhere.

Basically is it possible to run something like xampp, or similar, from my phone or a cloud service and be able to access mediawiki from my phone or computer? Preferably the cloud, or atleast access it on the cloud, as my current situation has made me rethink about safe keeping important data.

Directly on your phone is probably hard. Its definitely possible, but there would be effort involved.

On the cloud is easy and is the normal way that mediawiki is operated. Normally you would get a VPS from a cloud provider and install mediawiki on it. This does cost money. A popular budget option is https://digitalocean.com (about $4/month) but there are lots of options out there.

Directly on phone is hard, but how can one start? I'm in the same position of the OP. Any tips that serve as a guide through the process?

You would probably need to install a terminal emulator and php. Not sure if php comes prepackaged for phpnes or not
