Greetings, I'm looking for some assistance with installing a personal MediaWiki configuration for a site that I want to set up. I've looked through almost all of the predefined hosting services at https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Hosting_services%C2%A0and have not been successful at finding something that works for me. I do have a code repository of my preferred configuration settings, extensions, skins, etc. that is in the works at GitHub - my goal is to finalize it by the end of the month. I was wondering if there was anyone who would be willing to assist me just with the initial installation of MediaWiki - I can manage just about everything else from there.
Sincerely,Amanda
Hello!
Thanks for reaching out!
I'm wondering what specific issue are you running into with the installation? And, what is it that you are looking for in the hosting services that is missing in the services we have listed on MediaWiki. If you could share more, there might be someone willing to offer help.
Also, to get a faster response and chat with a developer, I recommend joining #mediawiki, our IRC channel on Freenode.
Cheers, Srishti

Hi, Amanda, Srishti, Gabriel, Petr, Lydia and All,
Thanks for this thread and your questions and responses.
I'm seeking to install MediaWiki for World University and School (which WUaS donated to Wikidata in October 2015 per Lydia Pintscher) as well, and began to do so last week, with guidance from Wikimedians.
I received these steps as part of this guidance -
" 1. Get Homebrew from https://brew.sh 2. brew install minikube docker-machine-driver-xhyve kubernetes-cli 3. brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve 4. minikube start --vm-driver=xhyve --show-libmachine-logs --v=10 --alsologtostderr " https://gist.github.com/Pchelolo/333e482559f7025eb253a2643ddb56d3
But I don't know how to do step 4. And this also may also be contingent on the following.
I was planning on hosting this at worlduniversityandschool.org (WUaS), but this wiki WUaS project seeks to be in each of all 358 languages in Wikipedia, as wiki schools for open teaching and learning, so I wonder if this is sensible. CC WUaS which is CC MIT OpenCourseWare-centric (in its 7 languages) and CC Yale OYC-centric is also planning to create major online CC OCW universities in each of all ~200 countries' official languages to offer free online CC OCW university and high school degrees (Bach, Ph.D., law, M.D. and I.B high school), so I also wonder how sensible it is to host MediaWiki at worlduniversityandschool.org with this in mind. I'd welcome your thinking about this, Srishti and MediaWikans. (WUaS seeks to be advertising free, and is also probably seeking a free host).
So, it seems that only Miraheze - https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze - from these MediaWiki hosting services - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hosting_services - would possibly be a good fit, since it's free, is advertising free, allows for one's own domain, and allows visual editor use upon request.
Per your suggestion (and another friend's at the WMF), I'll also join the #mediawiki IRC channel on Freenode.
So how would I begin developing WUaS in MediaWiki further with Minikube? And would you recommend using WUaS's domain, or Miraheze or another host?
Thank you!
Cheers, Scott Scott_WUaS

Wait what?
Why are you installing mediawiki in a kubernetes cluster on OS X?
If that sort of thing is your jam, by all means do it - but given that you are asking for help im going to guess its not. In which case why not follow standard install instructions (e.g. get a debian host somewhere, do:
apt-get install mysql php5 php5-apc apache2
And download/unpack the tarball to the web directory (/var/www/html)
Ultimately you may prefer a hosting solution, but if you want to do it yourself, id suggest avoid doing things the hard way. -- brian
