no other container management tools like podman?

i mean there's something to be said about docker's dependence on a daemon and need for root but it's still a respectable container tool overall

<rustynova[m]> "This may sound stupid but I..." <- if you have `DB_STAGING_TESTING_FEATURES` enabled in DBDefs.pm, you can navigate to /admin/user/edit/<your_user_name> and set an email address from the UI (hit "Skip verification"), along with any other privileges you need

Ah neat. Do I edit the one in musicbrainz-dev or musicbrainz for the testing preset?

*I'd just edit both but It's still good to know*

hmm, I think you're not supposed to edit the configuration under build/ directly as it's tracked by git, but if you followed the [development setup](https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-docker/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#development-setup), then you should be able to just edit the lib/DBDefs.pm file in your `$MUSICBRAINZ_SERVER_LOCAL_ROOT` checkout

normally mb-docker allows you to change DBDefs settings via environment variables, but there isn't one set up for DB_STAGING_TESTING_FEATURES yet

Well I don't plan to work on MB, that's why I'm using the testing setup. I just need an instance to test against for Melba. Having a dirty tree isn't that much of an issue as I only need to recreate the instance on schema changes.

it should be the one under build/musicbrainz/ in that case, but looks like it's actually using build/musicbrainz-prebuilt/ for the container, so it may not see your changes at all 😖

you can still manually docker cp the updated DBDefs.pm file into the container and restart it

huh, kiss just rebooted a second ago.

but thankfully LB servers are resuming normally. good job LB.
