TDLib doesn't work in docker container

[Jhon-Mosk]

I'm trying run tdl client in container. And I get next error:

If I run this code without docker, just node, it's work perfect.

Docker version 27.0.3, build 7d4bcd8 Docker Compose version v2.27.0-desktop.2 local node v20.15.1 node in docker v20.15.1-alpine

[Jhon-Mosk]

"tdl": "7.4.0" tdlLib: 1.8.33

[Jhon-Mosk]

I builded TDLib for Alpine and had this error.

[Jhon-Mosk]

Maybe version of TDLib build is 1.8.33 and version of tdl is 7.4.0. And they are not compatible?

[Jhon-Mosk]

In TDLib recommended contacting tdl repository. https://github.com/tdlib/td/issues/2981

[eilvelia]

This is not related to TDLib itself. If you use a glibc-based distribution in the docker container (e.g., ubuntu or debian), it will work out of the box. There is no prebuilt tdl's node addon available for musl, in that case the node addon should be built from source, but that didn't happen for some reason. That might be because there's no gcc and/or python3 present in your container (try apk add alpine-sdk gcc g++ python3 make), or you didn't run npm install. You should run npm install during the build of the container; you can't generally just copy the node modules from the host system. After that, you can also split the docker build into two stages so the final container is small and doesn't contain gcc (https://docs.docker.com/build/building/multi-stage/).

[Jhon-Mosk]

I builded TDLib for Alpine into container.

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1

ARG NODE_VERSION=20.15.1

FROM node:${NODE_VERSION}-alpine as base
RUN apk update &&\
    apk upgrade &&\
    apk add alpine-sdk linux-headers git zlib-dev openssl-dev gperf php cmake &&\

# production

    --mount=type=bind,source=package-lock.json,target=package-lock.json \
    --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.npm \
    npm ci --omit=dev
USER node
COPY . .
CMD npm run start

[Jhon-Mosk]

Than, I copied libtdjson.so.1.8.33 and used it.

[eilvelia]

COPY . . might be overwriting something from the previously executed npm ci.

I would do something like this (untested):

ARG NODE_VERSION=20.15.1

FROM node:${NODE_VERSION}-alpine AS build
WORKDIR /
RUN apk update && \
    apk add --no-cache alpine-sdk linux-headers git zlib-dev openssl-dev gperf cmake make gcc g++ python3 && \
    git clone https://github.com/tdlib/td.git && \
    cd td && \
    mkdir -p build && \
    cd build && \
    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && \
    cmake --build . --target tdjson
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY . .
RUN cp -L /td/build/libtdjson.so . && npm install

FROM node:${NODE_VERSION}-alpine
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY --from=build /usr/src/app .
ENTRYPOINT ["npm", "start"]

Add node_modules to .dockerignore.

[Jhon-Mosk]

COPY . . the team does not start, only part of the development works

[Jhon-Mosk]

I figured out what the problem was. You need to run the command ldd /path/to/file/libtdjson.so on the *.so file and it will be clear what is missing. It was necessary to install libc++-dev
