Quick reference: Configuration, services, and optimization
Warning: Pages in the namespaces SocialEntity and User are currently indexed by search engines by default. If you run a public wiki, you should exclude these namespaces from being searchable unless you want these pages to be indexed by public search engines.
If you don't need to set up a server environment "from scratch", you can directly refer to the setup instructions for individual system components. Just make sure that you really have everything configured as needed:
