A community-run, ad-free wiki for Granblue Fantasy, I’ve handled its backend development, hosting, and infrastructure since 2016. Supported by donations and a very helpful community. it brings together game data, guides, and shared knowledge. Originally started as an idea to escape the ads infested Fandom wiki that existed in 2016.
the details
- Written and maintained by the community itself.
- Running on MediaWiki and PHP 8.4, with Cloudflare for asset caching, Valkey for application caching, and Elasticsearch for search. Daily backups and monitoring help keep it reliable.
- Lua modules that supports various wiki templates and data displays.
- A lot of custom tooling that handle image uploads, character animations, and everyday maintenance.
under the hood
- cluster configuration - Kubernetes configuration for the wiki’s infrastructure.
- yuisis - the container image that runs the wiki.
- DarkMode - our own dark theme extension for MediaWiki
