Docker container not building in ResinIO image

I developed a docker file and was able to deploy it on a RPi 3 on the ResinOS image from resinos.io. When I wanted to test out the fleet management features on ResinIO, I used the OS image from the the site to burn an SD card for the Pi. Using the Resin CLI, the container build fails with the OS linked to my app on ResinIO.

Here is an output of the error from Resin

Any help will be greatly appreciated

This is not the cause of your problem, but I think you should make far less “RUN”, because Docker creates one layer per RUN. Moreover, in older kernel versions (currently in use by ResinOS), you may not override permissions and file ownership set in a previous layer.

Just use “” like you do in “apt-get install” and if you have logical blocks, you can still introduce new lines and “#” comments to separate them.

It doesn’t appear like I’m changing file permissions. The issue occurs when I use the CLI to deploy locally and on the first RUN command, regardless of what the RUN is supposed to accomplish

Hey @d.imade, what exact command are you running? And what version of resinOS do you have on the device? We are trying to replicate this.

This is the version of resinOS that’s on the device: Resin OS 2.0.8+rev1 (dev) from resinIO
This is the command i’m trying to run from the CLI:
sudo resin local push -s .
I then select the device I’m trying to build the container on, causing the failure in my original post.

Thanks, I think we can reproduce this, so looking at more closely what’s happening.

Hey @d.imade it turns out to be a known issue… It comes back to that if the user application does not have a commit pushed, then the supervisor running on the device is not put into local mode correctly, and thus it just cleans up the images while local push is building (as it does in “managed mode”)…

The current workaround is to push just any code (that builds correctly) to the application first. For example this this “dummy” project:

Afterwards you can work in local mode totally fine. When you switch from Local Mode back to managed, just push your application with a --force option for the first time. Or… you can just push your project’s current state to the application if it builds, then no need for the force push later when you switch back. Hope it makes sense!

We are working on fixing this, likely happening at the next milestone, as it seems like where we are heading with the supervisor and multicontainer support, it will be much simpler to get the correct behaviour. Sorry about the inconvenience in the meantime!

Thanks for the information. I tried building the project that you referred to, but ended up getting this error message:

@d.imade oh, sorry, there was this one more thing on my mind, and forgot by the time writing to you…

There’s this issue that is pending for resin-cli because of the update to Docker 17.03:

We are working on a fix for this (see the linked conversation on Github). In the meantime using resinOS 2.0.6 (which has earlier Docker version) can be a workaround.

Sorry for this, really piled up for the moment, but getting there.

@imrehg, using resinOS 2.0.6, the “idling” image doesn’t seem to persist. The container runs for a certain amount of time and then closes on it’s own. Doesn’t show up when I SSH into my RPi and run docker ps

@d.imade did you git push any code to your application before doing the local push?

For clarity, what I’ve meant above:

  1. git push resin master any working code to the application on resin, the idling is an example project that is very light.
  2. once there’s any code successfully pushed to the application, if you provision a device, and let it download this first code, afterwards it will be put into local mode correctly with the dashboard switch
  3. resin local push your own application to this Local Mode device (you don’t have to care about the idling project at all, it is a “quickfix” until the local mode setting fixes are released)

Sorry if it is confusing, and thanks for bearing with us!

Manage to get the workaround going, thanks for the help. Will be looking for the update that fixes the issue

Thanks, will do our best to ping you when the update is released.

Hey @d.imade, the issue for resin local push on recent ResinOS devices has just been fixed, get the changes with updating resin-cli to 6.3.0! So now you should be able to use resinOS 2.2.0 that was just released this week.

(Just a note, that the “first have to push code to the application before local mode can be enabled” is still outstanding, but you should be set with that)
