'''Version Support'''
Very minor adjustments needed for other distros. Help expand this list.
-* Mediawiki 1.28, updated as new versions are released
+* Mediawiki 1.28, 1.27 support is planned to be re-added.
* Debian 8 + backports
* Debian 8
-* Debian testing (last tested Aug 7, 2016)
+* Debian stretch
Pre 5/2016 revisions ran Mediawiki 1.23, tested on Fedora 20 and Ubuntu 14.04.
The most common route and the one taken by this site is buying a domain name from a site like namecheap, and a cheap vps from companies like linode or digital ocean. They have good getting started guides which mostly apply beyond their own sites.
+'''Install Certbot'''
+
+For debian jessie with backports:
+<source lang="bash">
+# if we have jessie-backports, we need to use it.
+if ! apt-get install -t jessie-backports certbot python-certbot-apache; then
+ apt-get install certbot python-certbot-apache
+fi
+</source>
+
+For other distros, follow instructions at [https://certbot.eff.org/ certbot.eff.org].

'''Email Setup'''
Setting up email can be an involved process, and this guide assumes that a some program (usually postfix or exim) is implementing a functional sendmail interface. Mediawiki uses email with to send password reminders or notifications, and this guide includes cronjobs for updating mediawiki and doing backups which will send mail in the case of an error. Email is also the recommended way to get notifications of package updates which require manual steps such as restarting of services.
