install_local(upgrade="never") doesn't allow to install the golem package-app

[agronomofiorentini]

Hello, I would like to thank again the ThinkR team for creating this package making the development of a web application fast and solid.

I have finished to develop the app and i am ready to deploy it. In this case i would use the docker system.

The follow code is the dockerfile

As reported here #739 i have duplicated this line "RUN R -e 'remotes::install_local(upgrade="never")'"

Then by using the terminal i go the the folder of the web app using cd path/to/folder

Then i have used the follow comands

docker build -t ciaone .

Then when the image it was created i used the next command

docker run ciaone

but with no success, getting always the same error output which is

Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘ReportSatellite’ Calls: :: ... loadNamespace -> withRestarts -> withOneRestart -> doWithOneRestart Execution halted

It seems that the package-app it is not installed yet in the docker environment.

Could you help me to solve this?

Thanks

[agronomofiorentini]

Hi again Colin,

I tried to modify the above code at the line

RUN R -e 'remotes::install_local(upgrade="never")' RUN R -e 'remotes::install_local(upgrade="never")'

I have tried to to what was reported here https://github.com/ThinkR-open/golem/issues/730 But didn't work.

Then i tried to modify the previouse lines with the follow lines

RUN R -e 'remotes::install_local(path="~Desktop/webapp_0.0.0.9000.tar.gz", upgrade="never")' RUN R -e 'remotes::install_local(path="~Desktop/webapp_0.0.0.9000.tar.gz", upgrade="never")'

But it still not working.

Could you help me to solve this?

Thanks. Marco

[tottidici]

Hi ! I have exactly the same problem I started a discussion https://github.com/ThinkR-open/golem/discussions/760

David

[agronomofiorentini]

Hi @tottidici, This morning I tried to develop with docker the default app that is generated when you launch a golem project and everything worked correctly.

Then I added some data using the use_raw_data() function and then I inserted a simple plot.

I have checked the DESCRIPTION file and the LazyData: true is present.

Already at this point the docker system gives me the same error as reported here in advance.

Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘ReportSatellite’ Calls: :: ... loadNamespace -> withRestarts -> withOneRestart -> doWithOneRestart Execution halted

While when i am using run_dev all works perfectly.

I don't know how to continue at this point.

[tottidici]

so the packages would be involved?

[agronomofiorentini]

I actually don't know if the packages would be involved

[VincentGuyader]

Hi

I need to have the log of the

docker build -t ciaone .

To see why you cant install your package from source.

What is the check output ?

[agronomofiorentini]

Hi @VincentGuyader, Thanks to help us.

I have created the docker file with golem::add_dockerfile().

Then from the terminal i went to the folder path by using cd path/to/folder

Then i execute the follow command docker build -t ciaone .

And now gave me the follow error in the remotes::install_local(upgrade="never")

=> => # begin installing package ‘terra’ => => # begin installing package ‘systemfonts’ => => # make: *** [Makefile:9: systemfonts.ts] Error 1

[ColinFay]

Hey y'all,

As far as I see it the current issue is that the docker building process doesn't exit correctly when the installation of the app fails, so you end up with a successful build of the docker image but with the package for the app not installed. My wild guess is that {remotes} doesn't throw the correct exit code and/or we need to configure the dockerfile to fail correctly.

[VincentGuyader]

@tottidici and @agronomofiorentini can you share (privately ? ) your whole project with Colin and/or me ?

90% of chance that the issue is in your package, but in that case, docker build should have returned an error, so this seems to be a {dockerfiler} issue too ( because of {remotes})

[agronomofiorentini]

For me no problem, indeed it is a pleasure to understand where the problem is.

How can i share the whole project? send email to rtask@thinkR.fr?

I think it's related to https://github.com/ColinFay/dockerfiler/issues/9

[agronomofiorentini]

I have add options(warn = 2) to the remotes::install_local(upgrade="never") and i have tried again to build the image

This is the output

try this https://github.com/ThinkR-open/golem/discussions/760, it's ok for me

[agronomofiorentini]

@tottidici thanks to report your news about your issue.

But i still have the problem to use docker.

And from what i understand the problem is about this systemfonts package, which i didn't mention it in my app and i didn't add it to the description file.

#42 10.66 ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘systemfonts’

This time i will try to install it and then rebuild the docker image

[tottidici]

@agronomofiorentini I have created a project golem with package ‘systemfonts’ then i have created dockerfile and i have added this RUN echo "options(warn = 2);" >> $R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site for debug So, this error appeared :

@agronomofiorentini I hope this helps you

[agronomofiorentini]

@tottidici, it is working now.

Thanks a lot to you and the thinkR team.

[tottidici]

so nice !!!!!!!! I'm very happy to have helped you, especially since I'm not a developer and I've never had any training on docker. In fact, you have to read the debugging when you build the container. Thanks to Vincent Guyader for making me add this line in the docker file, I didn't understand immediately what it was for, but it is very useful!

Maybe we should create an issue on the golem project, to improve the construction of the dockerfile, so that the linux libraries necessary to the functioning of the R packages are integrated automatically (if it is possible) @ColinFay what do you think about this ?

Merci à tous !!

[agronomofiorentini]

Hi again to everyone, I finally managed to develop my app successfully with docker thanks to this discussion and people that participated.

Now I have a new problem.

When using the app the user fills out a form and it is sent to a postgres database, I get an error and it is as follow

Warning: Error in : could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

I report here below as usual the dockerfile where I added EXPOSE 5432 to solve the problem but without success

Aas always i kindly ask you to help me because i have little experience on shinyapp development using docker, but i'm appreciating its capabilities

[tottidici]

Hi !

I think you only need one port, only your docker's port The postgres connection port must be in the connection string in R like this

dbConnect(dbDriver("PostgreSQL"),user="postgres",password="****", dbname="madb",host="192.168.1.2",port=5432

[agronomofiorentini]

hello everyone again I still haven't managed to solve this problem.

That is, I can now create the image in docker, but when I try to connect this image with a remote postgresql database it crashes.

I get the following error.

Warning: Error in : could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

I report here below the whole project, and I would kindly ask you to help me to solve this last problem. DockerApp.zip

[agronomofiorentini]

I just solved this. i just remove the last line of the docker file which remove all the content of the buildzone directory. Now it is working perfectly. From my side it can be close this issue.

I want to thank every participant
