Node/python failures when deploying my Rails app?

boulevardier · August 6, 2022, 7:01pm

So I’m running fly deploy --remote-only, trying to deploy my Rails app for the first time. My Dockerfile is straight out of the box, except I tweaked the RUBY_VERSION. For some reason I’m seeing this error which seemingly has to do with node and python.

 => ERROR [node_modules 3/3] RUN if [ -f "yarn.lock" ]; then     yarn install;     elif [ -f "package-lock.json" ]; then     npm install;     else     mkdir node_modules;     fi               16.7s

Huh? I’m confused why there is any dependency on node or python.

I honestly don’t know Docker very well, but tried commenting out the following block in the Dockerfile to see what would happen:

FROM build_deps as node_modules

COPY package*json ./
COPY yarn.* ./

RUN if [ -f "yarn.lock" ]; then \
    yarn install; \
    elif [ -f "package-lock.json" ]; then \
    npm install; \
    else \
    mkdir node_modules; \
    fi

Now, fly deploy --remote-only errors with

 > FROM docker.io/library/node_modules:latest:
------
Error failed to fetch an image or build from source: error building: failed to load cache key: pull access denied, repository does not exist or may require authorization: server message: insufficient_scope: authorization failed

which I’m also struggling to make sense of.

What’s going on here? Sorry if this is a noob question; I really don’t know much about Node or Docker, just wanted to run a plain old rails app.

This isn’t a complete answer but Rails 6 adopted webpack and that drags Node.js into the mix so unless you pull out webpack and go the modern Rails 7 option of ditching all the JS dependencies, you’ll need to have Node.js’s build complete successfully as part of the build. It appears Node has installed successfully for you, but node-gyp requires Python, and that appears to be failing.

It’s a long shot, but I would be adding something higher up your Dockerfile to install Python. How you do that varies on what Linux distro you’re using. If Alpine, then something like RUN apk add python3 make g++ prior to the Node stuff. If anything else, you’ll need to get Googling

OK, thanks again, that makes sense. It looks like the build worker is running Debian 10, which should come with python already installed. I will continue poking around and Googling, but I’m pretty surprised that the out-of-the-box configs are so broken.

Where is this Dockerfile originally from BTW?

boulevardier · August 6, 2022, 9:31pm

It was automatically generated when I first ran flyctl launch in my rails repo.
