Depending on which web framework you’re using, there might be better
options than exactly reproducing the Toolforge environment. (Unless you’re
debugging issues specific to that environment, I suppose.) For instance,
Flask
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/My_first_Flask_OAuth_tool>
has a development mode which automatically reloads source files as soon as
they change on disk, and offers you an in-browser debugger when an error
occurs. It’s amazing, I can’t recommend it enough.
Right, I've done that, but I've found it's helpful to try to as accurately
as possible reproduce the production environment in development if possible
- for example in the php case there was a tricky problem I ran into at one
point related to how the server invoked subprocesses. Anyway, thanks for
the pointers, the uwsgi startup mentioned looks like it might work for me!

I've found it very useful with php tools to
use the instructions here:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Kubernetes#PHP
where it says "You may run the container on your *local* computer (not
on Toolforge servers) by executing a command like this: ..."
which allows testing changes locally in a nice way before deploying them.
However there doesn't seem to be anything equivalent for the python
images - I can see what's available here:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Web#Python_(uWSGI)
and I can see I should use the image
docker-registry.tools.wmflabs.org/toolforge-python37-web
(by the way,
docker-registry.toolforge.org does NOT work right now when
fetching images!)
but I can't figure out how to tell the image where to find the python app
in the docker start command. Any hints out there?
