Can be used by anyone that is in the user group

trusted users / ( the one that triggers the jenkins jobs )

There's a list of extensions configured

Configuration is in the github repo in yaml files

sh scripts

Great to

let patches be tested by people that don't have the local setup

get feeback from volunteers

get feeback from community

try your patch in a more to production env

What about extensions that use backend services

CIrrusSearch?

Not yet, would be a bit of efford

Wikibase?

How does it work

Does not use docker

All wikis run on the same simple VM

Rebases the patch that should be used on top of the branch choosen

also applies all of the dependencies of that patch

PRESENTER NOTES

demo

use cases

new dev without local setup
old dev demonstrating work to community or coworkers
testing ext you don't have installed

how it works
NOT SECURE

a couple of shell scripts install a new MediaWiki
very simple - no containers, isolation, etc.
wikis can't be updated (deduplication)

add your own ext (please)

rewrite it (PLEASE)

No reply; assuming that this session took place (and that no followup is needed).

If this took place and if there are specific follow-up tasks from this session: Please create dedicated tasks and add another active project tag to those tasks, so others can find those tasks (as likely nobody in the future will look at the Hackathon workboard when trying to find something they are interested in).
