4training.net local development version

Get a local version of the 4training.net website with just one command!

docker compose up

Then you should be able to access it on port 8082 on your local computer: http://localhost:8082

To change the port or make it available to other devices on your (local) network, see .env

Login

When the system is running locally, you can login here: http://localhost:8082/Special:UserLogin

There is different users, all having the same password 4training.net:

• admin: full admin rights
• ResourcesBot, CorrectBot, AutoTranslateBot, GenerateOdtBot: bot users for different python tools
• Translator: with translator rights

To see what translators see look e.g. here: Translate Hearing from God

Access to the mediawiki API: http://localhost:8082/mediawiki/api.php

Using this for development

You can override a specific folder inside the docker container by mounting a host directory to the container. E.g. if you want to work on the skin (frontend) add a line in docker-compose.yaml so it looks like this:

 mediawiki:
    image: 4training/mediawiki
    ports:
      - "${MEDIAWIKI_PORT}:80"
    environment:
      MEDIAWIKI_HOST: ${MEDIAWIKI_HOST}
      MEDIAWIKI_PORT: ${MEDIAWIKI_PORT}
    volumes:
      - vol-www:/var/www/html/mediawiki
      - /your/path/to/mediawiki-skins-ForTraining:/var/www/html/mediawiki/skins/ForTraining

Then you can work in your local folder and changes will directly be reflected in the container (well after refreshing the page in the browser).

Remarks

The database is a cleaned up version of the live website (no revisions included, personal / maybe sensitive data removed). Port 8082 is hard coded at the moment (if you want to change that you would need to change $wgServer in /var/www/html/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php as well)

If you mess around with the database / files you can reset everything with docker compose down --volumes
