Unable to install pi-pins package for GPIO on RPi3 on balenalib/raspberrypi3-node:10 image

Craigson · August 16, 2019, 12:51am

I’m trying to use a relay with my RPi3, but for some reason I can’t seem to install the pi-pins package. I’m using the Balenalib/raspberrypi3-node:10-run image. Here’s my docker-compose.yml:

FROM balenalib/raspberrypi3-node:10-run

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -yq \
  python build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev \
  libudev-dev && \
  apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/

# Arguments - docker-compose can override them on build and run

# NPM token for private packages
ARG NPM_TOKEN

# npm token
ENV NPM_TOKEN $NPM_TOKEN

# Enable udevd so that plugged dynamic hardware devices show up in our container.
ENV UDEV=1

# We only want warnings from NPM
ENV NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL warn

RUN echo "npm token should be: $NPM_TOKEN"

RUN npm install -g yarn

# Set a working directory
WORKDIR /app

# Copies the package.json first for better cache on later pushes
COPY package.json package.json

# Copy the app
COPY . /app

RUN echo and now

# Install the packages
RUN yarn

# forward request and error logs to docker log collector
RUN ln -sf /dev/stdout /app/stdout.log \
  && ln -sf /dev/stderr /stderr.log

# ─────────────────────────────────  Command  ──────────────────────────────────

CMD ["yarn","start"]

The error seems to come from installing the epoll package and is related to node-gyp.

I’ve tried manually installing node-gyp but to no avail.

I’ve tried running the example from https://github.com/balena-io-playground/balena-rpi-nodejs-basic-gpio and can get my relay to work, my assumption is that there’s some issue with the balenalib/raspberrypi3-node:10 base image, but I can’t work out what.

Hi,
To use native modules it is usually best to use the -build variant of our base images. For example balenalib/raspberrypi3-node:10-build.
I checked out the pi-pins package and it depends on an epoll version 0.1.22, which only supports Node up to version 8. So I was able to build the pi-pins packages with a simple example for the base images balenalib/raspberrypi3-node:8-build (with some compiler warnings) and balenalib/raspberrypi3-node:6-build. Here is my minimal example:

FROM balenalib/raspberrypi3-node:8-build

WORKDIR /app

COPY package.json package.json

RUN npm install

CMD ["/bin/bash"]

Thanks @afitzek, turns out the issue was that the version of epoll in the package.json of the lib I was trying to use was very out of date and was not compatible with Node 10x, so updating the epoll version did the trick!
