[Solved] LuaSandbox PHP Extension


space2018

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm trying to use Wikipedia's infoboxes on my own wiki, but unfortunately, this requires the Scribunto extension, which executes some external Lna binary, that uses PHP proc_open, which is a clear security risk. Because proc_open is not enabled for obvious security reasons, the infoboxes are not rendered.

As a workaround, a PHP extension LuaSandbox https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/LuaSandbox can be used as an alternative. Does anyone know anything about this workaround, and if possible, would it be possible to install this on the Ricky server? According to the description, this does not use an external library but performs operations within PHP.

Alternatively, if anyone on here has any ideas to get this thing working, I'd love to hear it?

There are some other places that offer free wiki hosting with Scribunto enabled, but they're not ideal. For example, you cannot change files on the server, customize things for SEO purposes or run cron jobs.

Thanks in advance.
