'ridk install' not working in windows docker container

[LudwigK84]

I was trying to run the Dockerfile from here without any modifications.

Unfortunately, the step "ridk install 1' fails:

Step 8/23 : RUN ridk install 1 ---> Running in cfa2819aa442

Apparently the MSYS2 installer-exe fails, but I have no idea why. Changing the ruby versions to a newer one in the Dockerfile does not help.

I'm using Docker version 19.03.5 on Windows 10.

I built a Dockerfile that installs RubyInstaller plus Devkit. It might be helpful for you: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile

My intension was to reliably built RubyInstaller per docker. This initially worked well, but I had to realize that docker on Windows is unreliable. Although I have a lot of experience with docker on Linux, I got all kinds of errors and stability issues when running builds repeatedly or in parallel.

Regarding MSYS2, the installer need a graphical desktop. So you either habe to use the RubyInstaller bundled MSYS2 or the tar file instead: http://repo.msys2.org/distrib/

Thank you for your quick reply. I think you missed the link i posted, I was referring to the same Dockerfile you created which I couldn't get running on my machine due to the error during "ridk install 1" as described above. I'am just wondering why it does not work for me. Did you use a different docker version maybe?

EDIT: Following your advice I got it working by replacing "RUN ridk install 1" with these 5 instructions:

RUN powershell \ [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12; \ Invoke-WebRequest https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1900-x64.exe -Outfile 7zinstaller.exe RUN 7zinstaller.exe /S /D="C:\Program Files\7-Zip" RUN setx path "%path%;C:\Program Files\7-Zip" ADD http://repo.msys2.org/distrib/msys2-x86_64-latest.tar.xz / RUN 7z x "msys2-x86_64-latest.tar.xz" -so | 7z x -aoa -si -ttar

I don't know if downloading, installing and using 7z is a little bit of overhead, but unfortunately ADD from an url does not unpack the tar.xz file.

Same problem here. I'm really getting sick of it. Tried to reinstall 5 times, try to open it via administrator, msysc2 etc.. none of them worked
