Wiki

MediaWiki at https://wiki.munichmakerlab.de/

• Create your own account, needs to be confirmed by an admin

Maintenance

We currently have a bit of a spam problem, easiest way to fix it currently is to clean them up in the database directly.

update mw_account_requests set acr_rejected = DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),"%Y%m%d%H%i%S"), acr_user = 1, acr_comment = "Spam, no confirmed mail address", acr_deleted = 1 where acr_email_authenticated is null and acr_rejected is null and acr_registration < now() - interval 7 day;

update mw_account_requests set acr_rejected = DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),"%Y%m%d%H%i%S"), acr_user = 1, acr_comment = "Spam", acr_deleted = 1 where acr_rejected is null and acr_registration < now() - interval 7 day;

update mw_account_requests set acr_rejected = DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),"%Y%m%d%H%i%S"), acr_user = 1, acr_comment = "Spam", acr_deleted = 1 where acr_rejected is null;

Migration and Optimization 2024

We're planning to consolidate services into a standard deployment model, consolidate external services, and maybe add some new ones.

Consolidate:

• Wiki: Containerize => Challenges: php modules; updating php/wiki; ggf. make it easier to include the plugins (maybe php compose module handling)
• Mailsystem: ??

Externally hosted, and to be transfered into MuMaLab Infrastructure

• Tickets (https://tickets.mumalab.org/courses/)
• Calendar -> Google Calendar -> NextCloud
• ToolJet (OpenUnitState)

Planned Services

• NextCloud
• evtl Ticket System
• Single Sign On: e.g. login to wiki either locally or via SSO. Later only SSO. Can be used e.g. for nextcloud or other services as well

Details unclear

• InfoBeamer

SSO

IDPs

1. Option: Authentik
2. Option: https://git.cccv.de/uffd/uffd
3. Option: ...?

Auth:

Complete guide to Nextcloud OIDC authentication with Authentik

Integrate Authentik and Nextcloud

Wiki Plugins for OIDC etc.: Plugable Auth

Next Steps

• test authentik on saturn
• test connecting authentik and nextcloud
• migrate paddle to saturn
• containerize wiki (build on gitlab) and migrate to saturn
• update wiki
• test connecting wiki to authentik
