Description

This issue is for configuring Docker tooling for local development. Most importantly, this is for running a local instance of MariaDB, which is the DB flavor used in the Toolforge platform where Scribe-Server is hosted.

Goals here are primarily to:

• Configure a MariaDB Dockerfile for local development
• Configure a docker-compose.yaml as well for spinning up the local dev environment

Setting this up is to facilitate development around Scribe-Server's persistence layer

I am interested in this!

Awesome, @henrikth93!! 🚀

This should be fairly straightforward if familiar with Docker. Do let me know though if you need any additional pointers or information on this!

And actually though - I am thinking that a Dockerfile might not be needed even for this really.. cause the docker-compose.yaml could simply specify to use the official mariadb image.

Other things related here could also include (though not required, but feel free to look into if interested):

• Adding a Makefile target, such as make local-db perhaps, to spin up the local DB instance

I've been fairly solo here with Scribe-Server so far 😆, so let me know if there's anything that needs clarification!
