I can confirm that the sites table is empty in the stock Docker image, and that running /var/www/html/extensions/Wikibase/lib/maintenance/populateSitesTable.php populates the Wikipedia links boxes for the items I had imported from Wikidata.

At this point I would recommend looking at https://github.com/dbs/wikibase-docker/tree/wikibase-1.31 - I started again from current master. Much cleaner.

Ah, the square metre and square kilometre issue have been known for a couple of years now: https://github.com/filbertkm/WikibaseImport/issues/16

I reproduced this problem on a fresh Wikibase 1.31 Docker image. The end of my first attempt showed:

git has been bumped in alpine:3.7 to git-2.15.3-r0, that's the source of the current problem. So it could be resolved by shifting to:

Thanks @Addshore but I'm trying to work on the 1.31 Wikibase images again, and as those aren't available on Docker hub yet, I need to build them myself. I'll poke at the dependencies to see if I can come up with a fix similar to how other dependencies were made a little more flexible in commit 517af99b9fbc5440

Commit aca952fca15220e5bb39bad6fac76ec43c86be2f switches the fetch method to git and uses "git submodule update --init" to populate the required branches. Things seem to be working based on my early investigations!

I experimented with building a 1.31 image in a simplistic fashion (https://github.com/dbs/wikibase-docker/tree/wikibase-1.31-attempt) but that relies on the zipped release from github, and as of 1.31 we're now relying on git submodules to get packages such as https://github.com/wmde/WikibaseSerializationJavaScript and https://github.com/wmde/DataValuesJavascript (thanks to Jakob for the pointer!). Using the github zipped release results in the entity editing interface not giving the ability to add claims, and the browser console reveals JavaScript exceptions because the corresponding JS files can't be found.

Hi, I ran into this problem over the last few days trying to subscribe to wikidata-tech while on the eduroam network (my public IP address of 194.94.98.189).
