3.0.3-enterprise doesn't start up

[rattrap]

Seems some golang binaries don't work on OS X and the server is not starting up:

docker run -d --name db -p 8091-8094:8091-8094 -p 11210:11210 couchbase:enterprise-3.0.3

Having the same issue on Amazon Linux 7.

This works for me running in Docker on a Linux system, for what it's worth.

When you say "having the same issue on Amazon Linux 7", what does that mean? Running Docker on AL7? Or installing the Couchbase Server 3.0.3 binary on AL7? If the latter, where did you get the download?

[rattrap]

Hello,

No. Without Docker. I just installed the binary rpm on AL. We had the binary in our private RHEL repo since way back when :). Tried to download it from the official repo but it seems it's not available anymore.

I'd be curious to know if you see the same problem with the 3.1.6 download, which is still downloadable from couchbase.com. But as far as I can recall, those golang binaries were pre-compiled back in those days and quite possibly weren't actually changed between 3.0.3 and 3.1.6. And the version of golang used probably wasn't either, which in my experience is the main determinant of whether a binary will work or crash on a given platform. So there's a fair chance it'll still fail with 3.1.6. I can't test it myself as I don't have access to any machine exhibiting this problem, but I'll ask a coworker with a Mac to try it out.

In any case, I don't suspect this issue will get worked on. 3.0.3 is quite old (we have 5.0.0 beta 2 out now) and neither docker-on-mac nor Amazon Linux 7 are supported platforms for it. Also this clearly isn't a Docker-related issue so I feel I should probably close this issue on the couchbase/docker repository.

Same issue with 3.1.6 and enterprise-3.1.6:

Trace/breakpoint trap
root@6f0737243261:/opt/couchbase/bin# ./gozip
Trace/breakpoint trap

I know it's an old version but it's the one we use in production. Anyway, I eventually found the RPM on the official repo and if I recompile the golang binaries it seems to work fine (https://github.com/rattrap/couchbase-cluster/blob/master/provisioning/couchbase.yml#L64). I just wanted to do some loadtests on different environments.

Thanks for your interest and we'll consider upgrading to a newer version although, when we tried this last year with couchbase 4.something, the nodes randomly crashed with OOM.
