FAQ

[edit]

Can I host Wikibase Suite locally?

[edit]

Yes, Wikibase Suite can be hosted locally for testing purposes by using the example domain names *.example.com from template.env in your .env file. Configure those domains in /etc/hosts to make them resolve to 127.0.0.1.

However, due to OAuth requirements, QuickStatements may not function properly without publicly accessible domain names for both the WIKIBASE_PUBLIC_HOST and QUICKSTATEMENTS_PUBLIC_HOST. Also, running locally without publicly accessible addresses will prevent the generation of a valid SSL certificate; to accessing locally running services, you will need to allow the invalid certificate when loading the page for the first time.

[edit]

Do you recommend any VPS hosting providers?

[edit]
