Anti-Harassment Tools/The Good Place

From mediawiki.org

The Good Place is the test wiki for the Anti-Harassment Tools team. It is named after an American television show of the same name. The wiki is hosted on a Cloud VPS. Currently MediaWiki is hosted using Docker/Hub.

Accessing

[edit]

After configuring SSH access, the current instance may be accessed with:

ssh antiharassment-web1.antiharassment.eqiad.wmflabs

After that, the wiki is under it's own thegoodplace user, which can be switched to with:

sudo su - thegoodplace

The wiki is located in:

/home/thegoodplace/sites/thegoodplace/html

Technical Debt

[edit]

Docker Hub

[edit]

Currently, the wiki uses the docker image hosted on Docker Hub. This image isn't officially maintained by Wikimedia Foundation. It might be better to swap this image with with the official development image available in MediaWiki core.

Cloud VPS

[edit]

Since Toolforge provides a MariaDB database and allows the memory to be increased, it seems like might be simpler to maintain the dev environment if it were moved to Toolforge. Doing so would require less server maintenance (no need to keep up with software updates, claim the instance each year, etc.).
