[jennso]

Name and Version

10.0.5

What architecture are you using?

What steps will reproduce the bug?

First issue is the discourse container does not have curl or wget to download ruby, I installed it manually inside the contianer before It started the download, It tried to download ruby form 3 different urls but none are working, seems like the version of ruby that the container is called is not available oline anymore. here is the log

No curl or wget:

What is the expected behavior?

for curl or wget to be in the docker image to be used to download ruby, for the urls to work

What do you see instead?

no curl or ruby found even after installing them the urls are broken

The website works in safe-mode. url/safe-mode . I don't have any plugin installed and if I use disable all plugins it works.

But not sure yet how to delete the plugin that comes with core discourse styleguide, even though that is disabled.

[manish-nference]

I made my website work by moving plugins directory to someplace else. The blank page is gone even if you re-add the plugins directory to the same place.

I wonder why they don't monitor something the made themselves.

phusion/passanger doesn't release binary for ruby 3.1.4

I tried to downgrade the ruby to version 3.1.3 in Dockerfile and add wget, however the ruby was compiled static and still unable to load library.

I take another look at another log file, apparently, the passenger will try to compile itself and the precompiled binary is provided for convenience only.

It seems we need to include build essentials to the docker image for this to be able to compile

Hi there,

Thank you for reporting this issue. Our Discourse package already includes the passenger_native_support.so library. When unpacked, the file is located at /opt/bitnami/discourse/lib, and during the execution of postunpack.sh it is moved to /opt/bitnami/ruby/lib:

https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/b6aee772174a903cf5a8f50e8bdf4c4369d16efc/bitnami/discourse/3/debian-11/rootfs/opt/bitnami/scripts/libdiscourse.sh#L459-L474

The problem is that Ruby is looking for that file in other paths different from /opt/bitnami/ruby/lib:

cannot load such file -- /opt/bitnami/ruby/lib/6.0.17/ruby-3.1.4-x86_64-linux/passenger_native_support.so
cannot load such file -- /opt/bitnami/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/3.1.0/gems/passenger-6.0.17/buildout/ruby/ruby-3.1.4-x86_64-linux/passenger_native_support.so
cannot load such file -- passenger_native_support
cannot load such file -- /root/.passenger/native_support/6.0.17/ruby-3.1.4-x86_64-linux/passenger_native_support.so

We are currently working on a fix so that the packaged passenger_native_support.so is placed in the right directory and successfully loaded.

[migruiz4]

Hi there, we have released a new version of the bitnami/discourse image tagged 3.0.3-debian-11-r7 fixing the passenger native support library issue. I will now close this issue, please let me know if you find any further issues.

[prsyahmi]

Hi @migruiz4, thanks for the updates.
