Update mediawiki-docker automatically
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Please update mediawiki-docker on each release.

It would also be great if there was a "future" tag for the mediawiki-docker, so you can test the latest WMF deployment. However, in order for that to work, the docker image must be automatically updated every time a new WMF Deployments is released.

Is there some sort of feed / notification of new releases other than the email list?

We can always monitor branches/tags.

ooo! that's true. Would we just poll the repo every so often or is there some sort of webhook?

I'm also wondering about an update policy and what to expect.

Pulling the docker images currently gives me MediaWiki 1.34.1 while 1.34.4 (and 1.35.0) is the latest according to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download

On Docker Hub I noticed Last pushed 15 days ago by wikibasetravis so I was hoping for 1.34.4.

What do we need to do to stay up to date with security releases? It would be nice if the README or README-compose.md would give some guidance about this.

There is https://addshore.com/2019/01/wikibase-docker-mediawiki-wikibase-update/ but that's more about updating between major versions.

Ah, sorry... I see that wikibase does not build on top of the regular mediawiki docker image.

I've now created https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T266574 to be wikibase specific.

Ah, thanks. And sorry for misunderstanding.

Some automation landed in https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-docker/pull/126 but there will always be a manual review step.

This is out of scope of the Docker-Hub-MediaWiki project, which is just stable releases.
