We (RelEng) are working on building Docker images for use with local-charts. Some goals:

• Images should live in the WMF Docker registry, in an appropriate namespace
• Images should be built on WMF base images (i.e. wikimedia-stretch)
• Image definitions (this part is slightly hazy but we're figuring it out):
  • Base images capable of running, e.g., MediaWiki core will be defined using docker-pkg templates.
  • A .pipeline/blubber.yaml file in individual projects will be used by Blubber / the pipeline to deliver images that can be used to seamlessly provide MediaWiki deployments and services in the environment defined by local-charts.
• Over time, this work should converge with how applications are tested in CI and deployed to production.

Ideally I think these images would probably be usable outside the framework of local-charts, and generally provide a useful foundation for containerized dev and testing.

I'll have a new repo up for the docker-pkg templates shortly.

@jeena may have clarifications here.

@brennen: Does that repo exist somewhere nowadays?

We now use dev-images to define base images for both local-charts (which is sort of a backburnered project at the moment) and the docker-compose based MediaWiki-Docker.

Thanks for the link!

@Naike: Is this task still stalled ("If a report is waiting for further input (e.g. from its reporter or a third party) and can currently not be acted on") on something at this stage? (If it is, who or which task?) Thanks a lot!
