Issues about build vyos docker image

Hello,

I want to build a docker image for vyos-1.4

I followed this url:

https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build/tree/current/docker-vyos

use this build command:

cd vyos-build/docker

docker build --compress -f Dockerfile -t vyos:1.4-`date -u +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` --build-arg BUILD_DATE="`date -u --rfc-3339=seconds`" --build-arg VYOS_VERSION=1.4 --build-arg DEBIAN_VERSION=bullseye --progress plain .. 

But it failed:

Step 16/66 : RUN curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ocaml/opam/master/shell/install.sh       --output /tmp/opam_install.sh --retry 10 --retry-delay 5 &&     sed -i 's/read BINDIR/BINDIR=""/' /tmp/opam_install.sh && sh /tmp/opam_install.sh &&     opam init --root=/opt/opam --comp=${OCAML_VERSION} --disable-sandboxing --no-setup

Any suggesions to fix it?

I download vyos-build and build again.

git clone -b current --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
cd vyos-build/
cd docker

docker build --compress -f Dockerfile -t vyos:1.4-`date -u +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` --build-arg BUILD_DATE="`date -u --rfc-3339=seconds`" --build-arg VYOS_VERSION=1.4 --build-arg DEBIAN_VERSION=bullseye --progress plain ..

Following error came out. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The build process was killed because of out of memory.
I upgrade my host machine, and succed to build the docker.

# docker images
REPOSITORY   TAG             IMAGE ID       CREATED        SIZE

debian       bullseye-slim   bfbec70f8488   11 days ago    80.4MB

However I can’t run it:

docker run -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules --privileged --name vyos_inside_docker -it vyos:1.4
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: exec: "/lib/systemd/systemd": stat /lib/systemd/systemd: no such file or directory: unknown.
ERRO[0000] error waiting for container: context canceled 

I noticed that the docker image vyos was based on bullseye-slim.
I can not find /lib/systemd/systemd in bullseye-slim neither.

docker run -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules --privileged --name vyos_inside_docker -it debian:bullseye-slim
root@90dec9ebc269:/#

ls: cannot access '/lib/systemd/systemd': No such file or directory
root@90dec9ebc269:/# 
root@90dec9ebc269:/# exit

How can I fix this?

  1. Edit Dockerfile change FROM ?
  2. Edit Dockerfile and vyos_install_stage_0x.sh add /lib/systemd/systemd to image?

I’am newbee to docker build…

Can you give me any suggestion?
Thanks.

Hi @ackema , I think it would be better to edit “FROM” line and remove “-slim” in your case, can you check that and confirm? Also, add the “/sbin/init” at the end of docker command when starting container.

Thank you very much!

Yestoday, I have tried following ways:

  1. modified Dockerfile
    change FROM debian:${DEBIAN_VERSION}-slim to debian:${DEBIAN_VERSION}


It didn’t work

  1. modified vyos_install_state_01.sh
    apt-get install systemd


It could be executed.
However, there was no vyos-1x, nginx, etc…

  1. modified vyos_install_state_01.sh
    apt-get install systemd
    apt-get install vyos-1x


It didn’t work. There was still no vyos-1x


I noticed the size of docker images was only about 200M, and the sizeof vyos iso was about 500MB.
There must be a lot of applications that I need to install, so I changed my mind.

-------- finnally, I worked out by this way:

  1. mount iso
  2. unsquash the rootfs
  3. tar rootfs | docker import
    and it works.

------ Still I have two questions:

  1. Is there a full docker-vyos image I can set(FROM) in Dockerfile? Which contain all the applications of vyos? Or what I should modify to build a complete vyos docker image?
  2. Docker container’s network support bridge(veth), host, macvlan and some other types. None of these type was an ethernet. When I use “set interfaces ethernet ethx address dhcp and commit”, It fails. Is there any way that can make the docker container support ethernet network?

Thanks a lot!
