If no Licence is Selected/Appended, Default will be CC0 Default Licence IF there is no Licence placed below this notice!
When you edit this page, you agree to release your contribution under the CC0 Licence LICENCE:
More information about the cc0 licence can be found here: You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. Licence: Statement of Purpose The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work"). Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and efforts of others. For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights. 1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited to, the following: the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate, and translate a Work; moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s); publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness depicted in a Work; rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work, subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below; rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in a Work; database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, and under any national implementation thereof, including any amended or successor version of such directive); and other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations thereof. 2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. 3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. 4. Limitations and Disclaimers. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work. Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the Work. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to this CC0 or use of the Work. |

LXD does not work on the subsystem but we dont need it.
Video demonstration
Find your Subsystem Ubuntu IP address on network
Get the ip for your linux on the subsystem win10.
ip route show default
Will return something like:
none default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0 proto unspec metric 0
You are looking for your network interface, its after dev in my case it's eth0
Now to find the ip for that interface:
ip address
ip address will return something like this:
12: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 group default qlen 1
link/ether 9c:b6:54:a5:a0:da

Look for your interface, mine was eth0
2 lines down, you will see a line that starts with inet that contains you network address.
Mine was 192.168.0.130
Copy and Paste to the subsystem terminal
Right clicking in the ubuntu terminal will paste.
Highlighting text in the ubuntu terminal and right clicking will copy.
Install mediawiki
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install apache2 mysql-server php php-mysql libapache2-mod-php php-xml php-mbstring php-intl -y
Does not seem to use systemd on win subsystem.
sudo service apache2 start
If you see error:
(92)Protocol not available: AH00076: Failed to enable ARP_TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT
Don't worry, it should still work. Check status of apache2.
sudo service apache2 status
wget https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.2.tar.gz
tar -zxvf mediawiki-1.39.2.tar.gz
sudo mv mediawiki-1.39.2 /var/www/html/mediawiki
Create database
As this is just for your own computer on your own network, you can keep it super simple:
To Avoid Error:
su: warning: cannot change directory to /nonexistent: No such file or directory
Fix with:
sudo usermod -d /var/lib/mysql/ mysql
sudo service mysql start
sudo mysql -u root
CREATE USER 'wiki'@'localhost';
CREATE DATABASE my_wiki;
use my_wiki;
GRANT ALL ON my_wiki.* TO 'wiki'@'localhost';
quit;
Syntax Database setup:
Login to Mysql as user root:
mysql -u $USER
CREATE USER '$USERNAME'@'localhost';
If creating a database password CREATE USER '$USERNAME'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$PASSWORD';
CREATE DATABASE $DATABASE_NAME;
use $DATABASE_NAME;
GRANT ALL ON $DATABASE_NAME.* TO '$USER'@'localhost';
Config Apache2
sudo $EDITOR /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mediawiki
</VirtualHost>
Reload Apache2
sudo service apache2 restart

So open the file LocalSettings.php with notepad and CTRL+A to select all and CTRL+c to copy.
Back on the linux subsystem.

Restarting Windows
Restarting windows will fix the display bugs on the wiki.
You will need to open ubuntu and restart mysql and apache2.
sudo service apache2 start
sudo service mysql start
Create Local Domain name shortcut to your local wiki
On windows 10, open Notepad with Run as administrator and open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (you will need to change "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files" to see it.)
And add the line at the bottom:
192.168.0.130 mywiki.local
192.168.0.130 is the ip of my ubuntu subsystem and mywiki.local is the domain name on browser i would like forwarded to the local wiki.
Change the IP to your ubuntu subsystem ip and the Domain, you can change the domain name to anything you want.
You can now view your wiki on your browser by entering mywiki.local or whatever you want your local domain called.
