[01:38:01] Hey I am dealing with a corrupt ssd, and I am pretty sure my postgres database is corrupt, because accessing it causes terrible behaviour, sometimes reboots. [01:38:44] Anyway, I am attempting to, while I can stay booted, backup my files so I can just reinstall my OS and Filesystem. [01:39:42] is it sufficient to just copy /var/www/html/wiki ? [01:48:29] Depends what you're trying to save [01:48:35] And depends how your mediawiki was installed [01:49:32] how/where [01:49:40] !backup [01:49:41] See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki for information about backing up your wiki. For restoring your wiki, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Moving_a_wiki#Import_the_database_backup for more. If you don't have database access, try !grabber. [01:50:46] my mediawiki is just local, if that counts. Its not meant to be online or anything. [04:57:58] How do you use $wgAutoPromoteOnce if you have 2 groups called for example 'foo' and 'bar' and want a user to be promoted after a certain amount of edits? I tried to adapt the WMF thing but it broke my wiki [12:09:34] Hi All! Why PdfBook hangs on generating pdf with `title=Category:Test&action=pdfbook`? It does generate one-page pdf though with `title=Category:Test&action=pdfbook&format=single`... How can I troubleshoot it? [12:17:08] I am using lts version 1.27.4. But same thing happens with stable version as well. [12:22:33] Can anyone tell me how I would get https://wiki.crygaia.org/view/Template:Webarchive to work in the way suggested in Usage? (one template for making links after a URL like [http://wikipedia.org wikipedia.org]([linkhere Webcitation archive])([linkhere Archive.is])([linkhere Wayback machine]) - similar to the one on Wikipedia but without needing a lua program to work like wikipedia's one ( [12:22:34] ... [12:22:34] ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Archive needs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Webarchive which seems to be much more complicated than to be able to copy paste it to another wiki ) [12:45:28] Does anybody have experience in setting up PdfBook in MediaWiki? [16:00:42] brion: Do you happen to know why VE citations are so much richer on enwiki than on mediawikiwiki? [20:12:47] awight: probably because of Citoid [21:24:14] Hello, I have a question regarding setting up a wiki using MediaWiki. For a team project, I would like to self-host a wiki. How long (time-wise) does it take to setup MediaWiki (web & database server with appropriate software) with VisualEditor? [21:25:56] It depends, tbh [21:26:10] On many factors... Usually your familiarity/skill level in sysadmin and such [21:33:39] Ok, but how long would it take for someone that has gone through the process of setting up one beforehand? [21:35:33] J_OL: it depends on if theres any errors during install, blah blah blah theres no way to estimate an ETA [21:38:08] Yeah I thought that might be a problem. To be transparent, I need to provide a cost for setup and I thought wage*hours might be easiest [21:39:12] MediaWiki shouldn't take more than 10 minutes for the basic stuff [21:39:20] Depending on if the machine is already installed (and dependancies) [21:39:26] VisualEditor et al will probably take longer [21:39:46] I'd use one (or two?) RamNode VPS [21:39:58] for VE you'll need Parsoid [21:40:04] so you'll need all the node dependencies for that [21:41:17] I'd suggest a couple of hours should be more than enough [21:41:55] Alright, I'll assume like 5? [21:42:27] That should be viable [21:44:17] Ok, thanks a lot everyone. Sorry for the bad question, I have little experience in sysadmin (but familiarity with prog & cmdlines) but it felt wrong to ask for a flat rate [21:44:41] J_OL: meh this is a decent question actually [21:44:49] Shocked i dont see more of it [21:44:59] Most people don't care bout estimating [21:45:00] jfdi [21:45:17] Software estimation is always wrong [21:46:20] Yeah that's what I tried to tell my team mates (law students, I'm in engineering) but project requirements and all that fun stuff that [21:47:40] So massively over estimate, get it done early, and look awesome? ;) [21:49:57] Maybe perhaps ;) Thanks again! [21:50:06] Anytime
