MediaWiki with PostgreSQL, Ruben Schade, 28 January 2025:
I’ve been on a bit of a kick lately replacing MySQL (and equivalents) with Postgres. I harbour this dream of only maintaining a single database stack, silly as that sounds.
Normally I’m pretty conservative with what I run, jog, and sit on, but I cloned Clara’s and my other wiki and did a database migration to PostgreSQL over the long weekend, and it… worked? We run MediaWiki stock without extra plugins, but I’m still impressed how there’s been no appreciable difference in functionality or performance. I can now also use my little library of Postgres scripts for backups, and only have one DB on our jailed FreeBSD environment.
