PKC Data Package

PKC Data Package is a compressed file in the tar.gz format. It contains all configuration information of a PKC.

For the smallest initial data set, once DockerizedPKC is cloned from Github.com, one can follow the following procedure to create a fully functional PKC Data Package from scratch.

Clone DockerizedPKC from Github

Clone DockerizedPKC from [1]

git clone http://github.com/benkoo/DockerizedPKC
cd DockerizedPKC

Temporarily hide LocalSettings.php file from MediaWiki

Temporarily comment out the volume entry of - ./mountPoint/LocalSettings.php in the file: docker-compose.yml under the DockerizedPKC project home directory.

# - ./mountPoint/LocalSettings.php

Configure your version of MediaWiki

1. Kickoff the Docker-compose process to start both database and mediawiki services:

docker-compose up -d

1. Use a browser and enter the URL: http://localhost:9352
2. Go through the configuration process
   1. A typical setting for PKC is shown here: PKC MediaWiki configuration data
3. Download the newly generated LocalSettings.php file and put that file under the ./mountPoint directory under DockerizedPKC project
4. Stop the Docker-compose process

docker-compose down

1. Uncomment the entry in docker-compose.yml file (take out the # in front of the - ./mountPoint/LocalSettings.php entry.
2. Kickoff the Docker-compose process again to start both database and mediawiki services:

docker-compose up -d

1. Use a browser and enter the URL: http://localhost:9352, and you should see MediaWiki running.
2. After verifying the data is correct and the service are running, shutdown the service,

docker-compose down

1. You must wait for the docker processes to be turn down, before your can use tar -czvf command to package up all the data. For Windows 10 environment, use the following command:

tar -czvf <archive.tar.gz> ".\mountPoint"

For Mac, Linux and other Unix variants, use the following command:

tar -czvf <archive.tar.gz> ./mountPoint
