`no_glibc` in docker image nextcloud:25-fpm-alpine

[maurerle]

Using the nextcloud docker image with alpine, this app is not installed properly, as the url: custom_apps/richdocumentscode/proxy.php?status shows no_glibc.

This is quite bad as there is no migration path or explaination to a glibc environment.

Just using nextcloud:25-fpm does not work.

Maybe this should be added in some docs or when installing the package

in alpine, the www-data user is 82, while it is 33 in nextcloud:25-fpm.

Using something like: chown --from=82:82 33:33 -R /var/www/html chown --from=82 33 -R /var/www/html works to migrate the permissions

after this, one can restart the docker-container and have working richdocuments.

Still I would like to see a little more documentation about this issue

Hi @maurerle - Glad you got it worked out!

The docs say it requires glibc and won't work with musl (e.g. alpine):

What do you have in mind?

[maurerle]

Thanks for getting back to this. I would have liked a warning or note on this page (e.g. in the app selection on your nextcloud before installing) https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/richdocumentscode

And would like a pre install check if the system has musl, and fail the app install if not?

I remember it took me some time to find out what the reason was. But maybe the alpine images aren't actually as popular as I think
