docker's Issues

Apache image can't utilize ldapauth addon because container lacks `libldap2-dev`

friendica.log renders:

Permission check at install/update

Like I said in
friendica/friendica#5682

I do have to make a permission check after/during the rsync!

Ready for official image?

I'd like to push this image to the official repository since it evolved a lot and I know at least 2 other people using it regulary ;-) .

This will also solve #55 , because the official repository is capable of building multi-architecture images out of the box.

cron with secondary container not working

When I try to use a secondary container with /cron.sh entrypoint, all I get is:
Friendica isn't properly installed yet.

I'm passing the same environment variables as the main docker container, so not sure where the hiccup is happening.

Automatic tests for docker-compose

As already said in a PR, I want to increase the automatic testing.

So I do want to add Travis CI tests for all of the docker-compose examples. Like we have for the dockerfiles examples.

Therefore I have to download and execute the docker-compose binary on-the-fly during the Travis runs :-)

stack.yml - MAILNAME is not valid

docker/stack.yml

Line 29 in 987edd5

- [email protected]

This mailname is used for the Friendica "admin-mail".

But the e-mail isn't valid, so with Play-with-docker , we can start Friendica, but we cannot register an admin-account because of this fake-mailname (error "the email is not valid.")

Use nginx, instead of apache?

Is it possible to use nginx instead of apache?

EDIT: have the option to**

Auto building Docker images after merge

Currently, I have to create and upload every docker image by hand. There are some possibilities to create auto builds.

• per Travis
• per github

I've to look for it

Supervisor isn't working

The dockerfiles

• https://github.com/friendica/docker/tree/master/.examples/dockerfiles/cron/apache
• https://github.com/friendica/docker/tree/master/.examples/dockerfiles/cron/fpm

aren't usable at the moment :-(

log:

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/supervisor/options.py:296: UserWarning: Supervisord is running as root and it is searching for its configuration file in default locations (including its current working directory); you probably want to specify a "-c" argument specifying an absolute path to a configuration file for improved security.

[...]

supervisor constantly restarts the php instances and kill them because it doesn't "remember" the pid.

I have the fear that the bin/worker.php usage in the whole docker environment has some flaws and is therefore the reason for the supervisor errors ("zombie-process"es ...)

Configuration change in exesting installation is not working

I'm using version 2019.12 and I get two times issue when changing configuration using my environment variables that were not reflected.

I think these two issues are linked. In both cases I had to modify manually local-config.php where changes were not reflected.

My uses cases are :

• I want to add a new admin user : here in addition i'm wondering if the parameter has the good name admin_mail instead of admin_email : corresponding code
• I change the host and the password of my database : i'm wondering if in that case the issue is that these settings are only used in the installation process with autoinstall.

2019.12 - cron.sh - MySQL Port not set to default

Hi,
I've just updated to 2019.12 and my cron container wasn't starting.
I had to add MYSQL_PORT environment variable to make it works again. Else I had this error :

Waiting for MySQL db initialization...
Port must be an integer greater than zero
[ERROR] Waited 300 seconds, no response
Waiting for MySQL db initialization...
Port must be an integer greater than zero

So I think it means default value is not set as before ?

Docker image on ARM architecture

Hello,

As I'm having trouble on my x86_64 server in reason of having only 2GB of RAM and my friendica instance requires almost 1GB with server + mariadb I was looking for hosting friendica on a ARM architecture which is cheaper than x86.

Unfortunately MariaDB runs well but it is not the same for the server. I've tried several different image but each time I get the same result. Is there a trick to do this or maybe it's not possible ?

thank you.

... is not a fully qualified URL, please use App->internalRedirect() instead

Hi @nupplaphil ,

I'm actually still getting this issue (6124) with my friendica instance (red hot poker) via docker, traefik 2.2, nginx 1.17.10 (and the apache version) and mariadb 10.4.13.

Wasn't this fixed? or am I doing something wrong?

Apache - MPM prefork configuaration

I'm looking at current Apache configuration. Container is set to run using MPM prefork which process based.

Current config is :

<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
	StartServers			 5
	MinSpareServers		  5
	MaxSpareServers		 10
	MaxRequestWorkers	  150
	MaxConnectionsPerChild   0
</IfModule>

It starts 5 processes and keep always minimum 5 processes idle and maximum 10. It can start maximum of 150 processes.
MaxConnectionsPerChild to 0 means a process never dies. It can causes memory leaks. If we set a value, it will kill the process when it has served the MaxConnections value.
I would suggest changing that value to 1000 for example.

What do you think about this change? I can implement it if you want?

Possibility to overwrite git Repo&branch

Currently I have to manually overwrite the git clone in /entrypoint.sh to checkout other branches / repos than the default one

Maybe we can add (just for the develop images) the possibility to configure the checkout

"Can't connect to site" when I try to login after installation using this image

I can install Friendica and I can then create my account using this image. But when I try to login I get a blank page and an error "Can't connect to site". The site is configured for localhost as I'm just running it on my laptop without a domain name. Is this supported?

Missing ext-pcntl for daemon mode

When I want to start the daemon through docker, the following error occurs:

root@philipp /opt/friendica # docker-compose exec --user=www-data cron php bin/daemon.php start
Starting worker daemon.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function pcntl_fork() in /var/www/html/bin/daemon.php:124
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
  thrown in /var/www/html/bin/daemon.php on line 124

I guess the "native" forking possibility vanished from to another version...

define php.ini /usr/local/etc/php/ and memory limit

I add many errors in logs like this one :
Cannot allocate memory: AH00159: fork: Unable to fork new process

it looks like this error is linked to the memory limit in php.ini :

memory_limit = 128M

I had to copy to :

cp /usr/local/etc/php/php.ini-production /usr/local/etc/php/php.ini

and then change memory_limit to 256M

would it be possible to setup a php.ini and dynamically setup memory limit from a variable ?

maybe there are other interesting settings to setup ?

Fixing stack.yml

Because of #30 , stack.yml isn't working anymore.
=> we have to disable the email & url verification again

The reason behind it, is that Friendica will automatically check the admin-mail "[email protected]" which isn't - of course - a valid emal ;-)

Change to 2019.01-rc

Change tag to 2019.01-rc otherwise all images with tag rc will break when restarting/upgrading

Federation seems working (I can ping my Mastodon account and back, faves work too). But Mastodon can't follow Friendica account:

And a comment from a libranet.de user:

The network type couldn't be detected. Contact can't be added.

The only visible problem is #79 (comment)

Automatically update docker images after release

If I do get a way to automatically fetch the Friendica releases, it would be possible to automatically create/update docker images based on this list. So this repo would automatically update itself with each new release and I'm no more necessary to permanently check it ;-) .. And a next followup would be to automatically create a PR in the official library in case of a new release (but step by step :-) )

Maybe with an event of the github releases. I know from nextcloud that there's a releases repository: https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/ which includes

• all "latest", stable and RC releases
• SHA256 / MD5 hash sums for checks

Calling for @tobiasd and @MrPetovan if you know a similar way for Friendica. This would be helpful in either case :-)

Update to 2019.01

Just voicing excitement and pinging for a new release 😇

Optionally set friendica.log to ignore

The friendica.log isn't skipped during update so it will get deleted at every update.

Maybe we can add a environment variable to optionally skip the log

URL rewrite in .htaccess is not working

I followed your website for running Friendica using docker-compose at https://hub.docker.com/_/friendica#! - "Base version - apache". My YAML file is:

Any suggestions? Thanks

Update deletes `local.config.php`

I don't know why, but #45 didn't work during the upgrade .. It deleted the local.config.php

So be careful during update and save your local.config.php before updating! I'll fix it soon

daemon.php status says not running with many zombies process

Hi,

I've just seen that exec php /var/www/html/bin/daemon.php -f start is not terminated when daemon.php status return it is not running. Maybe it is normal.

But we have strange issue on our instance which generates maybe zombies process :

In that situation we have many messages queueing.

if I run dameon.php in background inside the container i get the following result. Is it expected result ?

/var/www/html/bin# ./daemon.php status
Pidfile wasn't found. Is the daemon running?
/var/www/html/bin# ./daemon.php start 
Starting worker daemon.
/var/www/html/bin# ./daemon.php status
Daemon process 30620 is running.

Then messages unqueued.

Do you have any idea why worker looses their parent id ?

Thank you :)

version_greater() method doesn't respect -dev or -rc

When updating from a *-rc or *-dev version (f.e. 2019.03-rc) to the same release (f.e. 2019.03), the method version_greater() doesn't sort the release over the rc version, so the upgrade fails.

This is cause because of this implementation:

docker/.docker-files/entrypoint.sh

Line 15 in 0d190b3

[ "$(printf '%s\n' "$@" | sort -t '.' -n -k1,1 -k2,2 | head -n 1)" != "$1" ]

2020.07-1 hotfix missing from dockerhub

Looks like there is a commit 34e0bd3 but the tag isn't available in dockerhub.

Crash when using 2019-09-rc after the release

This morning my instance crashes after a reboot.

After a quick investigation it is because when using a RC tag version at startup changes are pulled. Unfortunately this morning 2019-09-rc branch was not present anymore which leads to a crash.

I think it would be interesting in case of a git pull issue to fallback in previous version without crash.

show log in daemon.php in foreground

I'm running friendica using docker. I have two different containers. One is for managing daemon.php in foreground.

I have time to time worker issue for unknown reason. So I'm wondering if there is a way to provide more log by default. Because when i run docker logs <my_friendica_cron_container I only have this :

Waiting for MySQL X.X.X.X initialization...
#
# This script tries to connect to a database for a given interval
# Useful in case of installation e.g. to wait for the database to not generate unnecessary errors
#
# Usage: php bin/wait-for-connection {HOST} {PORT} [{TIMEOUT}]

At least having a log saying to everything is running well or not

Major todos to make the images work again:

• replace usage of .htconfig.php with local.ini.php (for database)
• Replace other settings with console config set possibility

Either I find the root cause, or I've to auto-check the permissions on startup (like for Smarty)

Adding redis cache to docker-compose

Since we add redis cache support, I'm going to add a redis cache container in the docker-compose.
like

redis:
  image: redis
  restart: always

and add the following lines to the .htconfig.php:

$a->config['system']['cache_driver'] = 'redis';
$a->config['system']['redis_host'] = 'redis';
$a->config['system']['redis_port'] = 0;

sendmail sender "Linux user"

The sender of each notification/email from Friendica is currently "Linux user".

That's because the "standard name" of the www-data user is "Linux user" and there is currently no overriding "From:" mechanism when using the mail() function in Friendica.

Maybe there is a php/sendmail-setting for it.

Release 2020.03 on Docker Hub

It seems there is no auto-deployment in place. Any idea when the latest version will be available on Docker Hub?

Trouble spinning up docker instances to test

Hi there,
I'm sure this is user error but I'm a bit stumped at what I am doing wrong. When I spin up the docker-compose example in the documentation and navigate to localhost:8080 it forwards to friendica/install in browser but never connects. adding something in hosts file just to force resolution doesn't help things either.

The same thing happens if I spin up two containers, one with MYSQL & friendica separately. These are the commands I'm running for that
docker run --name mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=testing -d mysql:5.7
(login and create friendicaDB)
docker run -d -p 8080:80 --link mysql:friendica friendica/server

I'm sure this is something simple but could use some help in order to start testing this out and then plan for my production.

Thanks in advance

Roll mysql into the container

It'd be great if this container just worked without additional configuration. Please consider rolling mysql into the container.

testing 2019.06-rc but still on 2019.04

I have tried updating my friendica docker installation from friendica/server:latest which was 2019.04 to friendica/server:2019.06-rc

after upgrading everything looks fine but i'm still in version 2019.04 in admin panel.

inside the container it looks ok :

env|grep FRIEN
FRIENDICA_VERSION=2019.06-rc
FRIENDICA_ADDONS=2019.06-rc

on docker host :

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                         COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                NAMES

but in admin panel i'm still having 2019.04 :

Do i have miss something in the upgrade operation ?

Switch to local.config.php

Switching back to local.config.php because of friendica/friendica#6199

@MrPetovan This change is making a lot of things easier here :-). There would have been a ugly workaround for custom ini.php files necessary instead.

Support password files

Instead of setting the password inside a plain-readable environment variable, you should use a password-file in production.

Details here: https://medium.com/@adrian.gheorghe.dev/using-docker-secrets-in-your-environment-variables-7a0609659aab

I'd like to introduce the explained file_env() function as alternative to MYSQL_PASSWORD and SMTP_AUTH_PASS

Warning: dns_get_record(): A temporary server error occurred. in /var/www/html/include/dba.php on line 58

Hi,

I tried to setup a friendica instance by using the docker-compose variant (Base version - FPM).
By using the install wizard I got an error during the database initialization:

Warning: dns_get_record(): A temporary server error occurred. in /var/www/html/include/dba.php on line 58

So I think the dns_get_record() function cannot handle the "db" hostname from the database.

So I digged a little around in the app container:

# dig db

; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-9+deb8u15-Debian <<>> db
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 5959

Using the PHP function:

# php -r "var_dump(dns_get_record('db', DNS_A + DNS_CNAME + DNS_PTR));"

Warning: dns_get_record(): A temporary server error occurred. in Command line code on line 1
bool(false)

Using the PHP function without DNS_PTR

# php -r "var_dump(dns_get_record('db', DNS_A + DNS_CNAME));"
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(5) {
    ["host"]=>
    string(2) "db"
    ["class"]=>
    string(2) "IN"
    ["ttl"]=>
    int(600)
    ["type"]=>
    string(1) "A"
    ["ip"]=>
    string(10) "172.19.0.2"
  }
}

So there seems to be an issue whith the PTR lookup inside the docker container...

Idea: Using a docker volume for storage

Based on friendica/friendica#6180 we can use a docker volume for data storage instead of the db.

It's currently possible in dev branch only and not yet stable, but as a reminder for 2019.03 and following

Removing the sleep() out of the installaton

ToDo:
Replace

docker/docker-entrypoint.sh

Line 171 in 6a42a2f

sleep 10s

with a better way to wait until the database setup is finished

Deduplicate dependencies

Some dependencies and extensions are already provided by the base image, so there's no need to add them again:
