mw dev shellbox media

Shellbox is a library for command execution, and also a server and client for remote command execution. Shellbox is usable starting with MediaWiki 1.36.

For “automatic” configuration we follow a pattern similar to the Wikimedia production config. If you run a service, you will find a service URL defined in $dockerServices.

$dockerServices['shellbox-media'] = '<internal-url>';

Known ShellboxUrls are then also configured. Currently that is the following Urls.

$wgShellboxUrls['pagedtiffhandler'] = $dockerServices['shellbox-media'];
$wgShellboxUrls['pdfhandler'] = $dockerServices['shellbox-media'];

You can add more to your LocalSettings.php file if needed.

Note: This service will NOT be automatically loaded if MW_PHPUNIT_TEST is defined. (This happens when you are running unit tests)
