Setting Up a Private MediaWiki


I have a MediaWiki (1.32.0) running locally via WAMP on my Windows PC. I want to make the Wiki privately available online to people with a username/password that then allows people to see the Wiki.

So basically I have two big problems:

  • I've never hosted a wiki before, but I have hosted other, less complicated sites (such as my old personal website on HostGator) - but these sites never required a "back end" to serve content
  • I've never created a password blocked website. I'm thinking we'll just have one username/password combo, because we'll only allow 5-20 editors max on the Wiki; there will never be more than 1000 visitors simultaneously (and that's very, very generously high)

Any advice on either of these issues would be much, much appreciated.
