# Example configurations for Mediawiki and Docker Compose

All examples are based on the (unofficial) [Mediawiki 1.35.x](https://hub.docker.com/_/mediawiki) Docker Compose example.

For Apache and Nginx.

Additional configurations:

* [VisualEditor/Parsoid URL](#visualeditorparsoid-url)

* [Short URL](#short-url)

* [Additional Composer dependencies](#additional-dependencies)

## VisualEditor/Parsoid URL

If you use the default Docker Compose example without any additional changes, then you will see the following error when saving a page using VisualEditor:

    Something went wrong

    Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server: (curl error: 7) Couldn't connect to server

![Parsoid Error](parsoid_error.png)

The solution is to add the following to your `LocalSettings.php`:

    $wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid'] = [

        'url' => 'http://mediawiki:80/rest.php',

    ];

    wfLoadExtension( 'Parsoid', 'vendor/wikimedia/parsoid/extension.json' );

The `url` value must be changed acording to the `docker-compose.yml` service name:

| Server                              | Service     | url                            |

| :---------------------------------- | :---------- | :----------------------------- |

| [Apache](apache/docker-compose.yml) | `mediawiki` | `http://mediawiki:80/rest.php` |

| [Nginx](nginx/docker-compose.yml)   | `nginx`     | `http://nginx:80/rest.php`     |

The reason for this error is within the `mediawiki` container the implicit default value will be "`http://localhost:8080/rest.php`".

However, that default URL does not resolve from inside that container, so instead the URL must be overriden to refer to the hostname and port visible to that container.

As per the [VisualEditor/Parsoid documentation](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor#Linking_with_Parsoid) the extension has to be loaded explicitly because the configuration was overriden.

## Short URL

Add `$wgArticlePath` to `LocalSettings.php`.

The default URL `http://localhost:8080/index.php/Main_Page` will be rewritten to:

| `$wgArticlePath` | Rewrite                                |

| :--------------- | :------------------------------------- |

| `/$1`            | `http://localhost:8080/Main_Page`      |

| `/wiki/$1`       | `http://localhost:8080/wiki/Main_Page` |

## Additional Composer dependencies

Additional dependencies can be installed using a custom image and Composer 1.
