[Proposal] Evaluate use of Alpine Images for official Mediawiki images
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In some use cases, packaging it to Alpine will result on a more smaller image, which would allow people with relatively high storage constraints to use Mediawiki along with it's dependencies.

I'll try to spin a proposal soon on the GitHub repository.

@sr229: I am resetting the assignee of this task because there has not been progress lately (please correct me if I am wrong - I could not find anything in the Github repo). Resetting the assignee avoids the impression that somebody is already working on this task. It also allows others to potentially work towards fixing this task.
Please claim this task again when you plan to work on it (via Add Action...Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu) - it would be welcome. Thanks for your understanding!

Hello. Is there any documentation on how to use this image?

As far as I can see, there is no web server included in the image (compared to the default image, which includes Apache), but the mediawiki installation is unpacked there, so it's not possible to run a webserver in a different container.

What is your suggested way for hosting static files?

Also this image is 473MB, compared to 76MB for the parent php:7.3-fpm-alpine image. I wonder if there is some low hanging fruit.
