Create official docker images for Mediawiki and services used in the local development environment
Open, MediumPublic

Description

The docker based local-developer environments has a need for standard trusted images hosted by us that can be used as base images for running Mediawiki and necessary services in development.

This intersects with Deployment Pipeline work (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T198901), which is containerizing many services for Kubernetes in Production. When possible, we should collaborate and use images built by the Deployment Pipeline.

The Kubernetes based local-charts project currently supports the following:

  • Mediawiki
  • MariaDB (or equivalent)
  • Parsoid
  • Restbase

Of these, only Restbase has been prioritized for containerization in the Deployment Pipeline.

Wikimedia base Docker images are build using an home grown utility: docker-pkg (doc | git repo).

SRE maintains some under the git repo operations/docker-images/production-images.
CI has more under integration/config.
