Hi, Amanda, Srishti, Gabriel, Petr, Lydia and All,

Thanks for this thread and your questions and responses.

I'm seeking to install MediaWiki for World University and School (which WUaS donated to Wikidata in October 2015 per Lydia Pintscher) as well, and began to do so last week, with guidance from Wikimedians.

I received these steps as part of this guidance -

"
1. Get Homebrew from https://brew.sh
2. brew install minikube docker-machine-driver-xhyve kubernetes-cli
3. brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve
4. minikube start --vm-driver=xhyve --show-libmachine-logs --v=10 --alsologtostderr
"

But I don't know how to do step 4. And this also may also be contingent on the following.

I was planning on hosting this at worlduniversityandschool.org (WUaS), but this wiki WUaS project seeks to be in each of all 358 languages in Wikipedia, as wiki schools for open teaching and learning, so I wonder if this is sensible. CC WUaS which is CC MIT OpenCourseWare-centric (in its 7 languages) and CC Yale OYC-centric is also planning to create major online CC OCW universities in each of all ~200 countries' official languages to offer free online CC OCW university and high school degrees (Bach, Ph.D., law, M.D. and I.B high school), so I also wonder how sensible it is to host MediaWiki at worlduniversityandschool.org with this in mind. I'd welcome your thinking about this, Srishti and MediaWikans.  (WUaS seeks to be advertising free, and is also probably seeking a free host).

So, it seems that only Miraheze - https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze - from these MediaWiki hosting services - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hosting_services - would possibly be a good fit, since it's free, is advertising free, allows for one's own domain, and allows visual editor use upon request.

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWiki

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Custom_domains

Per your suggestion (and another friend's at the WMF), I'll also join the #mediawiki IRC channel on Freenode.

So how would I begin developing WUaS in MediaWiki further with Minikube? And would you recommend using WUaS's domain, or Miraheze or another host?

Thank you!

Cheers,
Scott
