Wikibase Suite (WBS)

Wikibase Suite (WBS) helps you run your own Wikibase on a server.

WBS is a supported and tested Docker Compose configuration for deploying the following services to a publicly accessible server:

• Wikibase: MediaWiki service with the Wikibase extension included for creating and managing your Wikibase data.
• Job Runner: Background job service used by Wikibase.
• MariaDB: Database service used by Wikibase.
• OpenSearch: Search service used by Wikibase.
• Query service: SPARQL service for querying Wikibase data.
• Query service frontend: Web interface for SPARQL queries.
• Query service updater: Keeps query service data in sync with Wikibase.
• QuickStatements: A web-based tool to import and manipulate large amounts of data.
• Traefik: A reverse proxy that handles TLS termination and SSL certificate renewal through ACME.
