Installing the dependencies and setting up the environment should take about 15 minutes

• Clone the MediaWiki core repository - git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/core.git mediawiki
  Windows users: It is highly-recommended you clone the repository in the WSL filesystem rather than the Windows filesystem as there are significant performance improvements.
• Follow the directions in DEVELOPERS.md in the root of the mediawiki repository.
• Optional: extend the environment using the configuration recipes listed below

If you run into issues, here are ways to get help.

• For a quick question, use #mediawiki ^connect.
• Feature requests and bug reports can be filed on Phabricator at #MediaWiki-Docker.
• For discussions, please use mail:wikitech-l.

Below are configuration recipes that can be used with MediaWiki core's Docker development environment.

docker compose stacks can be extended with a docker-compose.override.yml file that resides in the same directory (at the root of MediaWiki core, in our case) as the docker-compose.yml file. Any configuration present in that file will override the defaults in docker-compose.yml. More documentation on overriding works is available at https://docs.docker.com/compose/extends/

After updating your override file, run docker compose down followed by docker compose up -d.
