Mediawiki Authentication plugin for server wikis

[gpcf]

This project allows you to create a wiki for your server that uses the minetest username and passwords as login data. It is still quite experimental, mostly since I wrote the code in an afternoon and I don't think the architecture of this mod is very nice, and the parts were cannibalized from different projects because I'm lazy. I took the minetest side from the webmail mod by BuckarooBanzai and the MediaWiki side from a Moodle authentication plugin (see README files for details), and I wrote a rudimentary web server in python to glue it all together.

This system powers the linuxworks server wiki, which can be found at https://wiki.linux-forks.de

The components can be found at:

• https://git.bananach.space/AuthMinetest.git/ for the Mediawiki plugin and the python server
• https://git.bananach.space/auth_export.git/ for the mod that exports the auth handler

Please reports bugs on our bugtracker.

Interesting :) Thanks for sharing that.

I hacked something together myself:
a http-mw-proxy that accepts a http-call from the /wikipassword command and upserts the user table with the hashed password in the mediawiki postgres database :P

It works nicely but i don't think neither of those solutions is very elegant :(
If there only would be some kind of lua-controlled http-server on the minetest-server...

Well, at least my solution uses the documented APIs of Mediawiki instead of postgres injection. lua http-server in minetest would be nice for this thing.
