Wikibase Suite (WBS)

Find instructions below for configuring and maintaining an existing WBS installation. If you’re setting up WBS for the first time, start by Installing WBS⁠.

Access your WBS server

For most operating tasks, first connect to the server where WBS is installed and change to its installation directory.

  1. Open a terminal on your computer and log in with the server account used during installation (usually root). Replace SERVER_IP_ADDRESS with your server’s public IP address:

     ssh root@SERVER_IP_ADDRESS
    
  2. Change to the directory containing your WBS installation. Use the command that matches the version you currently run.

    WBS 7 or earlier:

     cd ~/wikibase-release-pipeline/deploy
    

    WBS 8 or later:

     cd ~/wikibase-suite
    

These are the default locations used by the installation instructions. If you chose a different location during installation, use that location instead.

Configure

Manage configuration files, connect WBS to other services, or install additional extensions.

Maintain

Keep your installation current, protect or restore its data, and diagnose problems.
