Overview MediaWiki is the free and open source wiki engine that powers Wikipedia and tens of thousands of knowledge bases, intranets and documentation sites worldwide. This image delivers MediaWiki fully installed and configured as a production LAMP application, so a complete collaborative wiki is running within minutes of launch.
Application Stack MediaWiki running on PHP 8.3 with php-fpm, served by nginx on port 80 with clean short URLs. A MariaDB database stores every page, revision and uploaded file on a dedicated data disk so it is independently resizable and survives instance replacement. Systemd manages the database, the PHP FastCGI workers and the web server, starting them on boot and restarting them on failure.
Collaborative Wiki Engine Write and edit pages in the familiar wikitext markup or the visual editor, track every change with full revision history and side by side diffs, watch pages and review recent changes, organise content with namespaces, categories and templates, and search the whole wiki. MediaWiki gives you fine grained user rights, talk pages for discussion, file uploads and a rich extension ecosystem so you can grow a small team wiki into a large knowledge base.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a fresh database password and a fresh administrator password, both unique to that instance, creates the wiki administrator account and writes a fresh LocalSettings.php with new secret keys. The administrator password is written to a file only the root user can read, and no shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use The wiki is served on port 80 through nginx. Sign in with the generated administrator credentials to create pages, manage users and rights, upload files, install skins and extensions and configure your wiki. The full MediaWiki Action API is available on the same port for bots and integrations.
cloudimg Support 24/7 technical support by email and chat. Help with deployment, user and rights management, extensions and skins, the Action API, short URL and custom domain configuration, database tuning, TLS and scaling.
Use Cases Team and company knowledge bases. Internal documentation and runbooks. Public community and reference wikis. Project and product wikis. Intranet collaboration. A self-hosted, data-owned alternative to hosted wiki services.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes

Additional details
Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant). The MediaWiki wiki is served on port 80: browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/ and sign in with user Admin and the generated password. Retrieve the credentials with: sudo cat /root/mediawiki-aws-credentials.txt. MediaWiki binds nothing publicly except nginx on port 80; PHP runs under php-fpm and MariaDB listens on loopback only. The MediaWiki Action API is served on the same port 80 at /api.php for bots and integrations. The wiki database lives on a dedicated data disk mounted at /var/lib/mysql. First boot pins the wiki to your instance address (wgServer); the user guide explains how to set a custom domain and enable HTTPS.
