FYI @dmaza created something like this here:
https://github.com/wikimedia/InteractionTimeline/blob/master/Dockerfile-replica-db
but right now it embeds your SSH key and only works with enwiki.

My results lives at https://github.com/JeanFred/wiki-replicas-proxy :)

@dbarratt Oh cool! The end-result looks super similar to what I did in the end :D

And images are pushed to https://hub.docker.com/u/jeanfred/

@JeanFred: Is there anything to follow up for this Hackathon session, or can this task be resolved? Thanks!

@JeanFred We actually found that most developers didn't want to remove the password from their ssh keys (which was required for running it in a container), so we ended up connecting to the SSH tunnel on the host:
https://github.com/wikimedia/InteractionTimeline/blob/master/.env.dist#L3-L5
here are the new instructions:
https://github.com/wikimedia/InteractionTimeline#contributing
the only problem we had was that on Linux, there is no host.docker.internal
https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/264
so we implemented a workaround to add the hostname on Linux:
https://github.com/wikimedia/InteractionTimeline/blob/master/bin/start#L5-L10

My SSH key does have a password, and I do run it in the container − that’s the whole point of mounting the SSH agent.

Ah!

This may not work on OSX, and definitely not on Windows

Yeah that was our problem, we needed a cross-platform solution. :/

@JeanFred: Has this happened at the Hackathon and should this task be closed as resolved? If not, which (active) project (tag) is this about?
