This page covers how to quickly get Wikidiff2 working in MediaWiki-Docker.

Quick install

[edit]

If you just need to test with Wikidiff2 without making any changes to Wikidiff2, enter the container and simply install it with apt-get install php-wikidiff2. MediaWiki should detect its installed and automatically use it.

Developer install

[edit]
  1. Install libthai and other dependencies:
    apt update && apt install -y pkg-config libthai0 libthai-dev
    
  2. Clone the repo and install from source:
    cd /home
    git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/php/wikidiff2.git
    cd wikidiff2
    phpize
    ./configure
    make
    make install
    
  3. Make Wikidiff2 available to PHP (replace 8.1 with the appropriate version as needed):
    echo 'extension=wikidiff2.so' > /etc/php/8.1/mods-available/wikidiff2.ini
    ln -s /etc/php/8.1/mods-available/wikidiff2.ini /etc/php/8.1/apache2/conf.d/wikidiff2.ini
    ln -s /etc/php/8.1/mods-available/wikidiff2.ini /etc/php/8.1/cli/conf.d/wikidiff2.ini
    ln -s /etc/php/8.1/mods-available/wikidiff2.ini /etc/php/8.1/fpm/conf.d/wikidiff2.ini
    phpenmod wikidiff2
    
  4. Verify it's installed with:
    php -d 'extension=wikidiff2.so' -i | fgrep wikidiff
    
  5. Exit the container and restart it with docker compose restart mediawiki.
