I believe we can make installing a fully-featured MediaWiki service system as simple as copy&pasting 2-3 lines to a shell, or even executing a remote installer script that runs those lines for you. Additionally, we can offer VM images derived from the same install process through Bitnami or others.
To make this happen, we need to evaluate the options, make a decision and then follow through by making this our recommended and supported installation mechanism & providing a solid upgrade path for existing content.
I created https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87774 as a high-level tracking bug for the task of evaluating and deciding on a distribution strategy targeted at VMs.
Excellent -- we should definitely work on making those available and get some folks to try em out and see how well that covers most needs.
