Use the host machine for PHP (speed and ease of use with configuring XDebug, IDE and tools), and containers for heavy lifting of more complicated services (MySQL, Redis, ElasticSearch etc). Install ------- [](#install) Clone MediaWiki core. Create a `composer.local.json` file with these contents: ``` { "extra": { "merge-plugin": { "include": [ "extensions/*/composer.json", "skins/*/composer.json" ] }, "installer-paths": { "skins/{$name}/": [ "type:mediawiki-skin" ] } }, "require": { "mediawiki/vector-skin": "dev-master" }, "require-dev": { "kostajh/mediawiki-dev-env": "dev-master" } } ``` Run `composer update`. Usage ----- [](#usage) Install MediaWiki: `vendor/bin/mwdev install` Serve MediaWiki: `vendor/bin/mwdev serve`. Run `vendor/bin/mwdev serve --help` to see how to run with additional services. The local site URL is `http://127.0.0.1:9412` Design goals ------------ [](#design-goals) - Discoverability / ease of use: Project could theoretically become part of require-dev in upstream MediaWiki core's composer.json, but in the meantime it is straightforward to instruct users how to include it as part of their existing Composer setup - Performance: By not using a container for PHP we sacrifice some ability to reproduce environments in the interest of speed - Extensible: It should be easy for developers to add additional services using docker-compose to this repo, and for end users to override provided services (via docker-compose.override.yml) - Ease of use: Abstract away the tedious bits of `maintenance/install.php` and craft a `LocalSettings.php` file when possible - Reuse in CI: The same install/serve commands should be usable in CI for running integration and end-to-end tests ### Inspiration [](#inspiration) - ["QuickWiki"](https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Performance/Fresnel#Quick_MediaWiki) - [Symfony local server](https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/symfony_server.html) - [MediaWiki-Docker-Dev](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki-Docker-Dev) - [local-charts](https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/releng/local-charts/) - [Wikimedia TechConf discussion](https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T238224) Limitations / Caveats --------------------- [](#limitations--caveats) - PHP's built-in server is single threaded. That means if you do things like issue a curl request from within MediaWiki to the same MediaWiki instance, that request will timeout. Roadmap ------- [](#roadmap) - Fix the crufty integration with `docker-compose` commands. - MySQL container - Replicated MySQL containers (1 master, one replica) - ElasticSearch container - Lightweight proxy for nicer domain names and/or port 80 ### Health Score 21 — LowBetter than 19% of packages Maintenance30 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity37 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Community Maintainers ![](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/208893?v=4)[Kosta Harlan](/maintainers/kostajh)[@kostajh](https://github.com/kostajh) --- Top Contributors [![kostajh](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/208893?v=4)](https://github.com/kostajh "kostajh (25 commits)") --- Tags development-enviromentdockermediawiki ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/kostajh-mediawiki-dev-env/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/kostajh-mediawiki-dev-env/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/kostajh-mediawiki-dev-env) ``` ### Alternatives [deployer/deployer Deployment Tool 11.0k25.4M206](/packages/deployer-deployer)[appwrite/server-ce End to end backend server for frontend and mobile apps. 55.3k84.2k](/packages/appwrite-server-ce)[pragmarx/health Laravel Server & App Health Monitor and Notifier 2.0k1.0M2](/packages/pragmarx-health)[felixfbecker/language-server-protocol PHP classes for the Language Server Protocol 22476.7M6](/packages/felixfbecker-language-server-protocol)[heroku/heroku-buildpack-php Toolkit for starting a PHP application locally, with or without foreman, using the same config for PHP and Apache2/Nginx as on Heroku 8161.3M10](/packages/heroku-heroku-buildpack-php)[tiamo/phpas2 PHPAS2 is a php-based implementation of the EDIINT AS2 standard 4674.7k](/packages/tiamo-phpas2) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
