07:24 <makefu> Mic92: looks like everything *just works*(tm)

07:25 <makefu> but i will test today a bit more stuff

07:56 <kuznero> Hi All! Can I ask which software is used to power nixos.wiki?

07:57 <goibhniu> hi kuznero, it's mediawiki

07:59 <kuznero> goibhniu: do you know if that is difficult to migrate content from mediawiki to other formats normally? Recently content was migrated into mediawiki on nixos.wiki, right? From where? Was that also mediawiki? Was that difficult?

08:08 <kuznero> Is there nix package for mediawiki by any chance?

08:14 <makefu> kuznero: there is actually, it is currently part of the httpd extraSubsystems (apache). see https://gitlab.com/samueldr/nixos-wiki-proposition/blob/master/mediawiki.nix#L134-162 or more generally the discussion at https://github.com/nixos-users/wiki/issues/8

08:15 <kuznero> makefu: looks great! Is this part of 17.03 channel already?

08:15 <makefu> not sure

08:19 <fadenb> cherry picket nixos-unstable is the most stable thing there is ;)

08:23 <kuznero> fadenb: nice :) now I need to convince myself to run nixos setup intead of docker image :)

08:24 <fadenb> Just be prepared for a steep learning curve, once the first hurdles are done it is the most fun distribution I ever worked with

08:25 <makefu> ack

08:25 <makefu> i think most people who work with nixos on multiple machines use some pinned stable or unstable branch and cherry-pick the changes they want onto the repo

08:27 <fadenb> At work we are actually most of the time running on top of unstable with 2-3 small changes, only broke once during build time, never had any issues (but we only update every 3-4 weeks)

08:27 <kuznero> I am pretty long with NixOS (still feel like a complete nube of course). But I need to understand if running mediawiki as a service is better than simply running it in docker. Basically right now I am choosing wiki engine for my team internally at my workplace and I would like to keep it simple - e.g. use SQLite instead of a dedicated db server (team is pretty small anyway). And I want to make sure it is backed up and easily resto

08:29 <kuznero> One thing that worries my about docker image version of mediawiki is that there are no volumes that will allow me to keep database files and images.

08:37 <kuznero> But in general mediawiki looks pretty cool. Not sure why didn't I look into that more closely before...

11:09 <teozkr> kuznero: NixOS services aren't run in a container

11:09 <teozkr> and have full access to the usual FS

11:09 <teozkr> but still get most of the isolation of docker

11:10 <teozkr> that said, iirc you can define docker volumes when you create your container from the image? so that shouldn't be a massive problem anyway

11:53 <samueldr> between 17.03 and 17.09, the mediawiki extraSubsystem only differs in 17.09 there is an extensions list property

11:53 <samueldr> erm, unstable**, didn't actually verify 17.09

11:54 <samueldr> and in unstable, mediawiki's version was upgraded
