[13:35:46] <rooter0_>	 Does anyone know exactly how MW interacts with the web server?
[13:36:02] <rooter0_>	 Does it present a port, or a unix socket?  Or interact in some other way?
[14:02:37] <Vulpix>	 rooter0_: MediaWiki doesn't provide a port/socket., That's handled by the php engine itself, which runs the code at the requested file. php-fpm runs as a daemon which provides that socket/port for the webserver. Other implementations like apache mod_php runs directly though the webserver
[14:04:28] <rooter0_>	 Vulpix: I see.  I'm setting up my MW system with three Podman containers: nginx, mariadb, and php-fpm.  Should I install MW in nginx, or php-fpm?
[14:07:38] <Vulpix>	 rooter0_: you'll likely need to install it in both. There may be some static files that need to be served directly by the webserver without php processing them
[14:08:22] <rooter0_>	 I see.  Ty.
