Wikibase Suite (WBS)

Wikibase Suite (WBS) Tools

WBS Tools is the containerized foundation of the Wikibase Suite Installer. Its published purpose today is to support installation: bootstrap a WBS checkout, collect and validate configuration, and start the Suite.

Installer architecture

1. The root install bootstrap prepares Docker and obtains the compatible WBS Tools image and WBS checkout.
2. The checkout launches the browser configurator through the host-side runtime.
3. The browser-facing container collects configuration without receiving the Docker socket.
4. A separate, non-networked worker receives the socket, starts the services, reports progress, and exits.

Users should follow the WBS installation guide rather than run this image directly.

Releases and development

The image is published as wikibase/wbs-tools with independent wbs-tools@X.Y.Z release tags. A WBS release selects an exact compatible image in its checked-in .wbs/version manifest. Publishing WBS Tools does not change an existing WBS release until that release deliberately adopts the new image.

See UPDATING.md for development, testing, compatibility, and release guidance, and CHANGELOG.md for released changes.
