AWS Amazon Linux 2 MediaWiki

Purpose

Migrate an old media wiki installation to Amazon Linux 2 on AWS.

What I wanted to accomplish was to move an internal wiki install from VMware esxi to AWS. This is to be made available from the internet the local LAN, but with ACLs on the internet facing side because of obvious reasons. Still thinking how I want to handle this...

Pre-configure Instance

This is a lightly used site, so I am using a the t2.medium instance type.

sudo yum update -y
sudo amazon-linux-extras install lamp-mariadb10.2-php7.2
sudo yum -y install mod_ssl php-gd php-xml php-mbstring mariadb-server
sudo rm -f /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf
sudo sed -i 's/expose_php\ =\ On/expose_php\ =\ off/; s/upload_max_filesize\ =\ 2M/upload_max_filesize\ =\ 128M/; s/post_max_size\ =\ 8M/post_max_size\ =\ 64M/; s/max_execution_time\ =\ 30/max_execuion_time\ =\ 180/' /etc/php.ini
