AI in Politics: A Server Configuration Overview

This article details the server configuration necessary to support a MediaWiki installation focused on the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Politics. This assumes a moderate level of traffic and a need for robust data handling. This guide is geared towards newcomers to our MediaWiki site and aims to provide a clear, technical foundation for understanding the server infrastructure. We'll cover hardware, software, and specific configurations tailored to this subject matter. Please review the Main Page and Help:Contents before proceeding.

Core Server Hardware

A dedicated server is highly recommended. Shared hosting is not suitable for a wiki of this complexity. The following specifications are a minimum starting point. Consider scaling these based on anticipated user load and data volume. For more on server basics, see Server Administration.

Component Specification Notes
CPU Intel Xeon E3-1270 v5 or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Minimum 4 cores, 8 threads. Higher clock speeds are beneficial.
RAM 16 GB DDR4 ECC ECC RAM is crucial for data integrity. 32GB recommended for larger datasets.
Storage 500 GB SSD SSD is *required* for acceptable performance. Consider RAID 1 for redundancy.
Network 1 Gbps Dedicated Connection Reliable, high-bandwidth internet access is essential.
Operating System Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS or Debian 11 Linux is the preferred OS for MediaWiki.

Software Stack

The following software components are required. Ensure all software is up-to-date for security and stability. Refer to Security Best Practices for details.

  • Operating System: Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS (recommended)
  • Web Server: Apache 2.4 or Nginx 1.18 (Nginx is generally faster)
  • Database: MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB 10.6 (MariaDB is a popular, open-source alternative)
  • PHP: PHP 8.1 or 8.2 with required extensions (see below)
  • MediaWiki: 1.40 (latest stable version)
  • PHP Extensions: PHP Extensions documentation details requirements, but essential extensions include: `php-mysql`, `php-gd`, `php-xml`, `php-mbstring`, `php-intl`, `php-curl`.

PHP Configuration

Proper PHP configuration is critical for MediaWiki performance. Adjust these settings in your `php.ini` file. See PHP Configuration for more advanced settings.

Setting Value Description
`memory_limit` 256M Minimum memory allocated to PHP. Increase if experiencing memory errors.
`upload_max_filesize` 100M Maximum file size for uploads. Adjust based on anticipated content.
`post_max_size` 100M Maximum size of POST data. Should be equal to or greater than `upload_max_filesize`.
`max_execution_time` 300 Maximum time a script can run (in seconds).
`date.timezone` America/Los_Angeles (or your timezone) Set the correct timezone for accurate timestamps.

Database Configuration

A well-configured database is vital for MediaWiki's performance. Consider these settings in your MySQL/MariaDB configuration file (e.g., `my.cnf`). See Database Administration for more details.

Setting Value Description
`innodb_buffer_pool_size` 2G (adjust based on RAM) Amount of memory allocated to the InnoDB buffer pool.
`key_buffer_size` 128M Amount of memory allocated to the key buffer (MyISAM tables).
`max_connections` 150 Maximum number of concurrent database connections.
`query_cache_size` 64M Size of the query cache. May improve performance for frequently executed queries.

Specific Considerations for "AI in Politics" Content

This topic is likely to involve:

  • Large Datasets: Research papers, datasets of political donations, election results. Ensure sufficient storage and database capacity.
  • Complex Tables: Comparisons of AI algorithms, policy positions. MediaWiki's table syntax can handle these, but careful formatting is essential.
  • External Links: To academic papers, news articles, and government databases. Use External Links carefully.
  • Potential for Controversy: Implement robust Spam Protection and Abuse Filtering mechanisms.
  • Semantic Data: Consider utilizing Semantic MediaWiki extensions to categorize and query information about AI models, politicians, and policies.
