Its cool to see there's more easy deployment software being made. I have been working on a similiar project meant to be like EasyEngine. Due to the fact that there are better technologies out there than just apache and mod-php. This is a step in the right direction, though. The biggest barrier to developers and users having their own wiki's is that to install it properly requires a lot of work.

Hi,
I'm very excited to announce that Debian and Ubuntu packages for MediaWiki are now available. These packages will follow the MediaWiki LTS schedule and currently contain 1.27.1. If you've always wanted to "sudo apt install mediawiki", then this is for you :)
For Debian users, you can get the mediawiki package for Jessie from the official Debian repositories using jessie-backports, and it will be included in the upcoming Stretch release.
Ubuntu users will need to enable a PPA for Xenial or Trusty to set up the package.
Instructions, links, and help can all be found at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Legoktm/Packages. Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
Finally, thanks to Luke Faraone, Faidon Liambotis, Moritz Mühlenhoff, Max Semenik, Chad Horohoe, Antoine Musso, and all of the beta testers
of
the package for making this a reality.
Congratulations Legoktm! This is huge!
For those who haven't been following this, Legoktm started working seriously on this project during the Wikimania 2015 hackathon in Mexico City. He has kept the process moving over these many months and worked through lots and lots of blocking issues that would have stopped most people. For me this is just one more example of why Legoktm is awesome and deserving of public praise. :)
