Switched DNS and made the new Mediawiki service the primary. Reclaimed some disk space, fixed Iframe extenison, ParserFuncitons extension and "File Upload" feature. Tweaked the docker-backup script and used it to make a backup of the docker containers.

Started upgrade of Mediawiki upgrade Version 1.7 incrementally to version 1.39. This process mostly affected the database. Each upgrade required installing the newer software and performing any necessary database upgrades - from upgrade scripts, packaged with the new version.

backlog

Got the certificate issue worked out - apparently, the docker can't process symbolic links and had to use "hard" file references.

Hours of dialog with ChatGPT trying to implement some security features, but ran into problems that went past midnight. Will continue tomorrow.

Created secure passwords for the database root, wiki and wordpress users. Put them in environment variables, updated the passwords in the database and tested for functionality.

Much dialog with ChatGPT about setting up this server. Re-configured for shared db and using Docker builds rather than Turnkey. Many other tweaks as well. Got the initial Wordpress service working and notified Marcin / Catarina.
