Encode issue when ran in Docker

[Altai-man]

I'd resolve it myself, but sadly don't know enough about the infrastructure, so hoping anyone can provide some info about this situation.

Let's look at this output:

blin@brezeleisen:~$ time podman run -ti -v /var/tmp/Blin-volume:/mnt rakudo/blin --nproc=8 HTTP::UserAgent

I know the solution is to zef nuke StoreDir or just rm .zef with old cache. But.

How do one does that with docker setup? In our docker setup, where does .zef resides? Is it persistent between container runs? Using podman ps -a I see there are dozens of containers who already exited on latest...

Who can I ping to update the Blin image? Namely, got goodies from enchance branch just merged and look into zef version used or taking care of .zef cache so that it doesn't prevent HTTP::UserAgent installations (dozens of modules depend on that).

zef will reside in the standard location, /home/whatever/.zef. I don't think you're mounting it from outside. The image will be persistent unless you tell it otherwise running it with --rm

Who can I ping to update the Blin image? Namely, got goodies from enchance branch just merged and look into zef version used or taking care of .zef cache so that it doesn't prevent HTTP::UserAgent installations (dozens of modules depend on that).

I haven't looked at it so far, but I don't think that's the issue.

I'll try and check the image, if that's the problem.

So I built a container based on https://github.com/nxadm/raku-blin-docker locally and it works, so closing. Thanks to @stoned who suggested the overall idea of resolving it in such a fashion.
