Wikibase Docker

RaiseWikibase is based on Wikibase Docker developed by Wikimedia Germany. Wikibase Docker is distributed under BSD 3-Clause License. Please fulfill the requirements. It significantly simplifies deployment of a Wikibase instance.

Copy env.tmpl to .env and substitute the default values with your own usernames and passwords.

Install Docker.

Run in the main RaiseWikibase folder:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.extra.yml up -d --scale wikibase_jobrunner=1

See more details at Wikibase Release Pipeline.

If it runs first time, it pulls the Wikibase Docker images. Then it builds, creates, starts, and attaches to containers for a service. Check whether it’s running using:

docker ps

If it’s running, the output looks like this:

The logs can be viewed via:

docker-compose logs -f

Usually in less than a minute from the start you will see the messages from wdqs-updater_1 in the logs: INFO o.w.q.r.t.change.RecentChangesPoller - Got no real changes and INFO org.wikidata.query.rdf.tool.Updater - Sleeping for 10 secs. The Wikibase front-end (http://localhost:8181) and query service (http://localhost:8282) are already available. Data filling can be started.

If you want to stop the Wikibase Docker, to remove all your uploaded data and to run a fresh Wikibase instance, use:

docker-compose down
docker volume prune
docker-compose up -d
