OS/Web Information

alpine3.18.4 in docker container

Steps to Reproduce

I try to step by step with the offical docs.

  1. docker run --ti alpine:3.18.4
  2. apk update && apk add alpine-sdk bash libstdc++ libc6-compat
  3. apk add python3
  4. apk add nodejs=18.18.2-r0
  5. apk add npm
  6. npm config set python python3 , this command will error, then I try it the npm config edit and add the 'python=python3` in the open file
  7. export FORCE_NODE_VERSION=18
  8. npm install --global code-server --unsafe-perm

Expected

success deploy the code-server

Actual

Print a log of error at the last step. I see the err tips:"You may not have the required dependencies to build the native modules", then I try to see the lists Node.js requirements and confirm the prerequisites, but also not success.

Does this issue happen in VS Code or GitHub Codespaces?

  • [X] I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.
  • [X] I cannot reproduce this in GitHub Codespaces.

Are you accessing code-server over a secure context?

  • [X] I am using a secure context.

Notes

So, what the correct way to deploy the code-server on alpine? Or is it not support the alpine in docker?

Ah I think we are missing the krb5 dependency in our Alpine instructions. Maybe try installing krb5-dev.

I have followed the above steps. When I type code-server on the command line, the message says the server is at http://127.0.0.1:8080, but I can't pull anything up in the browser. I am attaching pictures. Anything else I can check? docker server1 web

Ah you probably need to bind to 0.0.0.0. If you use 127.0.0.1 then nothing outside the container can access it, even if the port is exposed.

8. npm install --global code-server --unsafe-perm

Thanks. As you suggested, I changed 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 in the config.yaml file. I restarted the container and now it works.

Closing for now since there are no action items for code-server. Tracking for potentially adding an official Alpine release is here: https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/3431

code-asher avatar Jul 12 '24 00:07 code-asher

@code-asher Do you have a working alpine Dockerfile are you willing to share it here in a post, been trying to get an alpine build up and running for several days now, still no luck with the latest 4.91.1 and alpine 3.20 or 3.19, so I hope you are willing to share.

No, I do not, but I tried building code-server on Alpine just now and these commands worked:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -it node:20.11.1-alpine sh
apk add git quilt python3 alpine-sdk libx11-dev libxkbfile-dev libstdc++ libc6-compat libsecret-dev jq rsync
git clone --recursive https://github.com/coder/code-server.git
cd code-server
quilt push -a
# Skipping kerberos since it fails to build and is optional anyway
sed -i 's/"kerberos": "^2.0.1",//' lib/vscode/package.json
sed -i 's/"kerberos": "^2.0.1",//' lib/vscode/remote/package.json
yarn install
yarn build
VERSION=4.91.1 yarn build:vscode
yarn release
yarn release:standalone
./release-standalone/bin/code-server --host 0.0.0.0

It would also normally be possible to package it withVERSION=4.91.1 yarn package to generate a tar.gz file but it looks like the version of tar in Alpine does not like the flags we use.
