The server is separate, i.e. not on my home workstation, and plugged to the router. It's a fanless small machine, consuming between 5 and 15 Watts according to the product description. (Not being paid for advertising, I can recommend it at any time: [https://fit-iot.com/web/products/fitlet2/fitlet2-specifications/ fitlet2]. See also the description at [https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=compulab-fitlet-2&num=1 Phoronix].)
 
I am neither following a logical nor chronological path, but rather choose the various issues from the end with the solutions found. As I have full access to all parts of my network, ssh access is possible. To easily download extensions to the target server from the mediawiki site, I access the target server with<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
homeuser@homemachine:~$ ssh -Y serveruser@targetserver
</syntaxhighlight>and then start firefox on the targetserver<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
serveruser@targetserver:~$ firefox&
</syntaxhighlight>

==== Debian on targetserver ====
[https://fit-iot.com/web/products/fitlet2/fitlet2-specifications/ fitlet2] comes with LinuxMint preinstalled, but I prefer Debian. The choice of a desktop environment and an Internet server on the targetserver allow remote browsing via ssh. [https://wiki.debian.org/WebServers Debian recommends]<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
sudo tasksel
</syntaxhighlight>and then select ''Debian desktop environment'' (plus the choice of desktop) and ''web server''. This installs apache2 and whatever else it needs as the default Web Server.<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mediawiki
sudo apt install mediawiki
</syntaxhighlight>installs, as I recall, all thatsthat needis needed to run mediawiki on localhost.
