Deploying Mediawiki on Debian (it's very easy)

If you need your own Wiki, but don’t know where to start, welcome. I'm new to Linux, this will help my step-by-step in particular. Considered:


  1. installing Debian
  2. LAMP stack
  3. launch on this basis Wiki on the popular Mediawiki engine

Choosing Distributions


  • OS - choose Debian. I do not know why. More specifically, debian-10.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso. The distribution, of course, is always worth taking the last of the stable, look at debian.org .
  • Mediawiki - because this project is well supported to this day. I looked closely at DokuWiki, but the latest distribution dates back to 2018, and the manuals are clearly not designed for beginners.
  • Apache, MariaDB and php73 - as recommended by Mediawiki .

A memo for those who are not very familiar with Linux
  1. Linux and everything that works on it is very case sensitive.
  2. root, – , , su. (, ), exit.
  3. , , , ssh su .
  4. ssh PuTTY. .

Equipment


  • it doesn’t matter at all. It can be a virtual machine, it can be a piece of iron.
