2024.09 RC and dev Docker images do not contain Friendica code at all

[Alkarex]

The Friendica code seems to be gone from recent Docker images:

$ docker run --rm friendica:2024.09-rc-apache ls /usr/src/friendica
config

$ docker run --rm friendica:dev ls /usr/src/friendica
config

Compare with the latest stable:

$ docker run --rm friendica:apache ls /usr/src/friendica

The -dev and -rc images download the friendica code upon startup. This is to ensure latest version of branch is used.

Thanks for the quick answer. That seems like a strange approach (should be a new build, and should be the same than stable to be able to properly test), but anyway, that does not seem to work for me.

That is a common approach, other projects like Nextcloud do this the same way. friendica has a very small group of maintaners and the approach allows fast updates of dev and rc installations without the need to build new images all the time. Releases do indeed include the code.

But still: to get the download working you need to add FRIENDICA_UPGRADE to the environment as per documentation and error message.

[Alkarex]

For the background, I first tried the :latest or :stable image but hit https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/14450 I was then hopping to find an image that works, so gave a try to :rc and :dev. Trying to follow the instructions of https://hub.docker.com/_/friendica/ or https://github.com/friendica/docker/blob/stable/README.md , none of the those images seem to work.

Back to the issue, I did try FRIENDICA_UPGRADE=true and it does install the sources indeed, but the symptoms are the same, leading to a 404 on / or /install.

I will try to get back to it later.

I have a setup with the fpm rc version running. So image works basically. The question why there is a problem with the /install may be related to either something missing in the images that is required for install. It can also still be a problem in friendica source or something different ....

I can't look into it for at least two weeks but will do if it is not resolved by until then. I still think the source of the white page may include the best hint. So this would help.

Hmm In 266 we have 200 with 4k response size for the white page so I hoped for a callstack.

As written, I will look into it after my holidays if not resolved until then.
