  1. AI in Inclusion: Server Configuration Guide

This article details the server configuration for the "AI in Inclusion" project, a MediaWiki extension focused on utilizing Artificial Intelligence to improve accessibility and inclusivity within our wiki environment. This guide is intended for newcomers responsible for server maintenance and configuration.

Overview

The “AI in Inclusion” project uses several AI models to enhance the wiki experience. These include models for automated alt-text generation, translation services, content summarization, and bias detection. This demands a robust and scalable server infrastructure. This document outlines the necessary hardware and software configurations required to support these functionalities. We will focus on the core server components and their interaction with the MediaWiki installation. See Manual:Configuration for general MediaWiki configuration information.

Hardware Specifications

The following table details the minimum and recommended hardware specifications for the "AI in Inclusion" server. These specifications are based on anticipated load and the computational demands of the AI models.

Component Minimum Specification Recommended Specification
CPU Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 (14 cores) Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 (40 cores)
RAM 64 GB DDR4 ECC 256 GB DDR4 ECC
Storage (OS & MediaWiki) 500 GB NVMe SSD 1 TB NVMe SSD
Storage (AI Models) 4 TB HDD (7200 RPM) 8 TB SSD
Network Interface 1 Gbps Ethernet 10 Gbps Ethernet
GPU NVIDIA Tesla T4 (for initial testing) NVIDIA A100 (for production)

These specifications assume a moderate level of wiki activity. Higher traffic volumes or more complex AI model usage will necessitate increased resources. Consult Help:System requirements for more information about server requirements.

Software Stack

The "AI in Inclusion" project relies on a specific software stack to function correctly. This section details the required operating system, database, web server, and AI-related libraries.

Operating System

We utilize Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS as the operating system. This provides a stable and well-supported platform. Detailed instructions for Ubuntu Server installation can be found at Help:Installing MediaWiki.

Database

MariaDB 10.6 is used as the database server. The database stores wiki content, user information, and AI model metadata. Proper database configuration is crucial for performance. See Manual:Database for configuration details. The following table outlines key database configuration parameters:

Parameter Value
`innodb_buffer_pool_size` 8 GB (minimum), 32 GB (recommended)
`max_connections` 200 (minimum), 500 (recommended)
`query_cache_size` 64 MB (consider disabling for heavy write loads)

Web Server

Apache 2.4 is used as the web server, configured with `mod_php` to process PHP scripts. Proper Apache configuration is essential for security and performance. Refer to Manual:Apache for detailed configuration instructions.

AI Libraries & Frameworks

The following Python libraries and frameworks are essential for running the AI models:

  • TensorFlow 2.x
  • PyTorch 1.x
  • Transformers (Hugging Face)
  • spaCy
  • NLTK

These are managed through a dedicated Python virtual environment to avoid conflicts with other system packages. See Help:Python for virtual environment setup.

Network Configuration

Proper network configuration is vital for accessibility and performance.

  • **Firewall:** A firewall (e.g., `ufw`) should be configured to allow access only on necessary ports (80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS, 22 for SSH).
  • **DNS:** Ensure proper DNS resolution for the wiki domain.
  • **Load Balancing:** For high availability and scalability, consider implementing a load balancer (e.g., HAProxy) to distribute traffic across multiple servers. See Help:Load balancing for more details.
  • **Caching:** Utilize a caching layer (e.g., Varnish) to reduce server load and improve response times. See Help:Caching for more information.

The following table shows the necessary port configurations:

Port Protocol Description
80 TCP HTTP (unencrypted web traffic)
443 TCP HTTPS (encrypted web traffic)
22 TCP SSH (secure remote access)

Security Considerations

Security is paramount. Regularly update all software components, implement strong passwords, and monitor server logs for suspicious activity. Enable HTTPS and configure a web application firewall (WAF) to protect against common web attacks. Refer to Manual:Security for comprehensive security guidelines.


Future Scalability

The architecture is designed for scalability. Adding additional servers and distributing the load across them can accommodate increased traffic and AI model complexity. Containerization technologies (e.g., Docker) can simplify deployment and management. See Help:Docker for more information.
