Installing MediaWiki with Docker

I'm attempting to install MediaWiki using the Docker image mediawiki:1.40.0-fpm. It's my intention to use an external instance of Nginx as reverse proxy for SSL termination.

I can start the container successfully, but when I try to connect as per the documentation using; curl http://127.0.0.1:8081 I get; curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

My docker-compose.yml looks like this;

services:
  mediawiki:
    container_name: mediawiki
    image: mediawiki:1.40.0-fpm
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:8081:80"
    volumes:
      - ./images:/var/www/html/images
      # After initial setup, download LocalSettings.php to the same directory as
      # this yaml and uncomment the following line and use compose to restart
      # the mediawiki service
      # - ./LocalSettings.php:/var/www/html/LocalSettings.php

    environment:
      MEDIAWIKI_SITE_SERVER: https://wiki.my.domain
      MEDIAWIKI_SITE_NAME: My Wiki

      # you need to specify the reference to the database, Docker no longer
      # shares environmental variables between linked containers
      MEDIAWIKI_DB_TYPE: mysql # 'mysql' or 'postgres'
      MEDIAWIKI_DB_HOST: db
      MEDIAWIKI_DB_USER: mediawiki
      MEDIAWIKI_DB_PASSWORD: YcBUxyP6tdKfyDEY
      MEDIAWIKI_DB_NAME: mediawiki

      # uncomment 'MEDIAWIKI_ENABLE_SSL' to enable SSL support
      # MEDIAWIKI_ENABLE_SSL: true

    networks:
      - mynetwork
networks:
  mynetwork:
    name: mynetwork
    external: true

Any ideas?

I doubt that dockerised MediaWiki, even its official edition, is already so production-ready that a novice can just take an image and use it. Better build your own image.

This would seem to make the official images rather useless.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
