Backups

Full Backups

To create a full backup, you'll need to:

Backup Database 


mysqldump -u wiki -pPASSWORD wikidb > ~/wikidb-backup.sql

Backup Images

TODO

Backup LocalSettings.php

TODO

XML Dumps

You can dump the entire wiki as XML, and then use an XML parser to convert it to various other formats.
This is very fast, but doesn't render text normally handled by plugins.
Each page is defined within a <page> tag. 

cd /usr/local/www/mediawiki/maintenance
php dumpBackup.php --full --quiet > dump.xml

# mediawiki's builtin parser (parsoid, best-effort)
php ${your_wiki}/maintenance/parse.php dump.xml > out.html

# pandoc (halts on error)
pandoc dump.xml -f mediawiki -t html -o dump.html

Static HTML

Tools

mw2html
static-wiki

wget

Captures/correct links, but not as relative links for me. technically can capture CSS too.
If your $wgServer points to the localhost (ex. $wgServer = "//127.0.0.1:80", you can perform this backup over the localhost - confirmed with tcpdump). 

# force connections over localhosts using an alternative hostsfile
# see: man gethostbyname
env HOSTALIASES=/foo/hosts \
    wget --recursive \
    --page-requisites \
    --adjust-extension \
    --convert-links \
    --no-parent \
    --tries=1    `# no retries (defaults to 20)` \
    --timeout=5  `# only wait 5s` \
    -R "*Special*" \
    -R "Special*" \
    -R "*action=*" \
    -R "*printable=*" \
    -R "*oldid=*" \
    -R "*title=Talk:*" \
    -R "*limit=*" \
    "https://yourwiki.com"
