Create TCL image for Toolforge based on a supported Debian release
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Per https://k8s-status.toolforge.org/images/docker-registry.tools.wmflabs.org/toolforge-tcl86-sssd-web:latest/ there are two tools (giftbot & linksearch) actively using the TCL image that is using a deprecated Debian stretch base image. Debian has dropped stretch from their mirror servers making rebuilding this image problematic at best.

We should make a replacement TCL image based on a supported Debian release and let the https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/id/giftbot and https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/id/linksearch maintainers know about it.

Buster has TCL 8.6.9 and bullseye has TCL 8.6.11. The legacy stretch container has TCL 8.6.6. I think we can just reuse the existing tcl86/tcl8.6 labels and bump the base image to bullseye without anything scary happening.

@Giftpflanze and @doctaxon does that sound reasonable to the two of you?

Why 8.6? There's already tcl/tk 8.7 out.

We generally install system packages produced by the Debian project. Today the most recent version of Debian that we are supporting in Toolforge is Debian Bullseye. Per https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/tcl, 8.6.11 is the version that would be available. Debian Bookworm is the "testing" release that will become stable next and it will have 8.6.13.

The next time that the giftbot and linksearch services are restarted they should pick up the new container from the registry.
