Congratulations on the container, mention it on mw.org somewhere. It seems with that you've got half the battle won. MediaWiki-vagrant's roles let you easily add features to a development wiki, but maybe instead of trying to get all MediaWiki-vagrant's vagrant and puppet machinery running in your image, you could publish different containers and your recipe for making more of them. I imagine some of the roles like browsertests would bring an RPi to its knees, so you would have to blacklist some of them.
The most useful day-to-day MW-vagrant feature IMO is `git-update`, it would be good to offer that as standalone script.
(Last time I looked the docker catalog had dozens of MediaWiki containers, I don't know how people choose one). On Sep 29, 2015 10:05, "Tony Thomas" 01tonythomas@gmail.com wrote:
Hello,
I was looking at some statistics of school students ( < 17 years ) participation from my state in Open Source program like Google Code In, and it is ~0. The Government here has initiated a project to distribute Raspberry Pi for school students[1], and it would be great to have them setup a Mediawiki development environment with the Pi so that they can contribute.
The Pi's have 1 Gig ram, and I got a docker container of Ubuntu ( arm ) running smooth. There are few blockers to install MW-Vagrant or the LXC container, which are:
- <bd808> The puppet config for mw-vagrant needs a 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04
container to run inside 2. <bd808> mv-vagrant has a lot of bells and whistles that make it really want a lot of ram and CPU 3. <bd808> hhvm is too ram hungry
and lot more. The other option will be to setup a LAMP stack, which would need to be automated ( need scripts ). I wanted to know if this porting would be feasible, and worth the development hours, and specifically - if someone is interested.
