This repo contains Docker images needed to setup a local Wikibase instance and a query service.

Each image contained within this repo has its own README with more detailed information:

This repo contains an EXAMPLE docker compose setup for Wikibase (specified in the docker-compose.yml file) that combines the images described above to set up a fully-featured local Wikibase environment. You can use that file as a base to build a custom environment tailored to your needs.

To try it out, make sure you have Docker installed, then just clone this repository, enter its directory and run docker-compose up -d. Once that step completes, you should have:

• a MediaWiki wiki fully configured with Wikibase, available at http://localhost:8181
• a Wikidata Query Service instance available at http://localhost:8282
• a QuickStatements instance, available at http://localhost:9191

Note that the Wikibase instance has no data; no items or properties. To add some data, use the Special:NewItem and Special:NewProperty pages in the local wiki; then you can add statements to the added items using the properties you defined.

For more information about this example enviroment, please see the README-compose.md file.

We use Phabricator to track issues. See the list of current issues.

New images will be build and automatically pushed to docker hub when merged on master. Builds on branches and in PRs will not be pushed.

Each image directory contains a README with a separate Development section for how updates of that image generally work.

The following steps relate to all images:

• Update the various .travis/build-deploy.sh scripts to correctly tag the images that are being built, including updating the latest tag.
• Update .travis.yml to reflect new or removed images
