FAQ

Can I host Wikibase Suite locally?

No, Wikibase Suite is not meant to be hosted locally. You will need a server with IP-address and a domain + subdomain to install Wikibase Suite.

If you would like to try a similar setup we recommend to try Wikibase Cloud first.

Can I migrate from another Wikibase installation to Wikibase Suite?

It is possible to migrate an existing Wikibase installation to Wikibase Suite. The general procedure is as follows:

Back up your MediaWiki
Install Wikibase Suite as described above
Re-apply any changes to config/LocalSettings.php
Import your database dump
Regenerate the WDQS database
Regenerate the Elasticsearch database

Do you recommend any VPS hosting providers?

As of this writing, we can offer no specific recommendations for VPS providers to host Wikibase Suite. The suite has been tested successfully on various providers; as long as the minimum technical requirements are met, it should run as expected.
