The [[ https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Data_Services#Wiki_Replicas | Wiki Replicas ]] are replicas of the production databases. Many tools on Toolforge use them. Tool developers may use Docker and docker-compose for local development environment (see eg rTHER or R1969). But once the tool attempts to connect to the replicas, the connection fails. The documentation already suggests to use [[ https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Database#SSH_tunneling_for_local_testing_which_makes_use_of_Wiki_Replica_databases | SSH tunneling for local testing which makes use of Wiki Replica databases ]] Idea: providing a Docker image that does the proxying, which you can attach to your compose project and get replicas access :)
