New feature request: run mediawiki using sqlite

[besnik]

Hi, would it be possible to add support for sqlite ?

+1 Would be much easier using volumes for a docker container

See benhutchins/docker-mediawiki, section on using postgres

@chalesreid1 - I don’t see any reference to using SQLite in the Postgres section, maybe you misread the feature request?

The reason I asked for sqlite are scenarios where you simply want to run mediawiki as a single container and mount volume to store the data (e.g. in sqlite format) and that's enough for you. The backups are also easier (just zip & archive). You don't need full relational db for that. Many things gets easier. Also mediawiki updates (security patches, new features) could be probably easier and also easier rollback in case of problems. With sql db you could do that too but its more complex.

Don't get me wrong - I was successfully running mediawiki container using mysql container and it worked well. It just would be much easier for our use case to store data in sqlite db (file) and work with that (backups, sync, rollbacks, updates, etc).
