The Primerpedia demo for the Concise Wikipedia proposal is currently hosted via GitHub pages, at http://waldyrious.github.io/primerpedia. Hosting it on Toolforge instead would bring it closer to the Wikimedia universe and make it more discoverable.
Note: This task was part of the "Primerpedia improvements" project, carried out during the Wikimedia Hackathon 2019. Project poster:
This task was originally reported at the GitHub repo, as issue #50.
This is now done. The tool is now available at https://tools.wmflabs.org/primerpedia.
To do this, I first followed the steps outlined in https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Toolforge#Toolforge_quickstart; Then, I cloned the repository to the ~/public_html/ directory, and ran webservice start, as explained in https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Web#Web_Service_Introduction. Finally, I set up a system to auto-update the tool whenever there's a push to the github repo, as described https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Auto-update_a_tool_from_GitHub.
Along the way, I improved those pages to make them more beginner-friendly and more complete. The last one, in particular, was actually written by me after figuring out the steps while working on this task.
