Again, plese excuse the brevity of the original ticket.
This is based on a migration use-case executed together with @Tarrow, in which Rhizome's legacy Wikibase data is transferred to the new docker-based setup. This was also to test if the same data could be easily migrated with newer versions of the docker images being released.
In general the test was successful! 👍
There was just an issue with mixing existing LocalSettings with the new sensible defaults provided by the docker install. Most things concerning the basic setup of the docker I wouldn't want to touch and it is great that they are provided in such an easy, pre-made form.
For customizations to be portable to new releases of the docker image, it might make sense to add a way for the LocalSettings.php file to be appended to (or working with a php based import). These extra lines could just handle non-critical settings like namespace, licensing, logo or naming settings, while the settings required for operation would be handled by the docker compose process.
Next week I aim to provide a list of customized settings used in Rhizome's Wikibase and what happens if they're transferred to the docker LocalSettings.php
Thank you for linking to your blog post, this is helpful information.
