`Failed to find package "@oven/bun-linux-x64"` error on `npm i -g bun` docker step

[taranek]

What version of Bun is running?

1.0.1

What platform is your computer?

node:lts-alpine - docker image

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Dockerfile to reproduce the issue

FROM node:lts-alpine as build-stage
RUN npm install -g bun

npm install -g bun fails with an error:

What is the expected behavior?

bun package is installed successfully

What do you see instead?

Docker build step fails with an installation error

Additional information

No response

[BOTKooper]

Can confirm, same for 1.0.0 and 1.0.2 (tried both basing from node:18-alpine), *-slim images work as expected

[Electroid]

I wonder if this is because alpine node does not install optional dependencies by default? (I don't know this to be true, but that's my guess)

doesn't look like that, it fails even with explicit --include=optional

[squishyu]

Seeing some strange behavior. Bun itself installs, the postinstall script failed. When installing with --ignore-scripts it properly installs the optional dependencides: @oven/bun-linux-x64 and @oven/bun-linux-x64-baseline

When I then manually run the postinstall script (npm run postinstall), it throws the original error.

Upon digging further, on the alpine image the binary file shows up in the bin directory.

When trying to run it I got:

sh: ./bun: not found

Eventually stumbled upon this StackExchange post with the reason behind the error.

Turns out you need glibc to run Bun on Alpine. To do that you can add this to your Dockerfile (from another StackExchange post)

RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates wget
RUN wget -q -O /etc/apk/keys/sgerrand.rsa.pub https://alpine-pkgs.sgerrand.com/sgerrand.rsa.pub
RUN wget https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases/download/2.28-r0/glibc-2.28-r0.apk
RUN apk add --no-cache --force-overwrite glibc-2.28-r0.apk

Which got Bun working for me:

And the npm install now finishes clean.

[BOTKooper]

@squishyu oof, this works, but i'm not sure if it solves the issue.

Sure, we can add this section to the docs (at least for now) and error message, but IMO solutions is not pretty and gonna divert some users from trying to use any images except for provided by bun

[taranek]

@squishyu Can you provide a sample Dockerfile? In my case, it still throws an error while installing bun:

FROM node:lts-alpine as build-stage

RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates wget
RUN wget -q -O /etc/apk/keys/sgerrand.rsa.pub https://alpine-pkgs.sgerrand.com/sgerrand.rsa.pub

RUN apk add --no-cache --force-overwrite glibc-2.28-r0.apk

RUN npm install -g bun --ignore-scripts

[squishyu]

@squishyu Can you provide a sample Dockerfile? In my case, it still throws an error while installing bun:

@taranek Sorry, should've been more clear. Once you add the 4 RUN commands, you can use npm install -g bun without the --ignore-scripts

An example Dockerfile:

FROM node:18-alpine
# Add dependencies to get Bun working on Alpine
RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates wget
RUN wget -q -O /etc/apk/keys/sgerrand.rsa.pub https://alpine-pkgs.sgerrand.com/sgerrand.rsa.pub
RUN wget https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases/download/2.28-r0/glibc-2.28-r0.apk
RUN apk add --no-cache --force-overwrite glibc-2.28-r0.apk
# Install Bun
RUN npm install -g bun

This leaves me with an image that can run Bun:

[taranek]

@squishyu Strange, it still doesn't work on my M1:

FROM node:18-alpine
# Add dependencies to get Bun working on Alpine
RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates wget
RUN wget -q -O /etc/apk/keys/sgerrand.rsa.pub https://alpine-pkgs.sgerrand.com/sgerrand.rsa.pub
RUN wget https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases/download/2.28-r0/glibc-2.28-r0.apk
RUN apk add --no-cache --force-overwrite glibc-2.28-r0.apk
# Install Bun
RUN npm install -g bun
RUN bun --version

but if I use --ignore-script flag, it seems to install properly, but throws a similar error as soon as I try to use bun command:

FROM node:18-alpine
# Add dependencies to get Bun working on Alpine
RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates wget
RUN wget -q -O /etc/apk/keys/sgerrand.rsa.pub https://alpine-pkgs.sgerrand.com/sgerrand.rsa.pub

[squishyu]

@taranek Could you try using the --ignore-scripts flag to partially install it and then run /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bun/node_modules/@oven/bun-linux-aarch64/bin/bun?

[squishyu]

@taranek Nevermind, my bad. Turns out the dependency package in the example I provided - alpine-pkg-glibc - is x86_64 only.

The M1 Mac uses arm64 (or aarch64), therefore it needs different glibc binaries... You can try using this Dockerfile, which uses docker-alpine-rpi-glibc-builder - though I would strongly suggest the binaries get moved elsewhere, as you'd be depending on some random person's personal Github repo.

FROM node:18-alpine
# Add dependencies to get Bun working on Alpine
RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates wget
RUN wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/athalonis/docker-alpine-rpi-glibc-builder/master/glibc-2.26-r1.apk
RUN apk add --allow-untrusted --force-overwrite glibc-2.26-r1.apk
RUN rm glibc-2.26-r1.apk

I can also confirm that it works. Thank you so much!

[squishyu]

Here's a simple combined version that checks CPU architecture and installs either the x86_64 or aarch64 version of glibc - so you can use the same Dockerfile on different machines.

FROM node:18-alpine
# Add dependencies to get Bun working on Alpine
RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates wget

# Install glibc to run Bun
RUN if [[ $(uname -m) == "aarch64" ]] ; \
    then \
    # aarch64
    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/squishyu/alpine-pkg-glibc-aarch64-bin/master/glibc-2.26-r1.apk ; \
    apk add --no-cache --allow-untrusted --force-overwrite glibc-2.26-r1.apk ; \
    rm glibc-2.26-r1.apk ; \
    else \
    # x86_64
    wget https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases/download/2.28-r0/glibc-2.28-r0.apk ; \
    wget -q -O /etc/apk/keys/sgerrand.rsa.pub https://alpine-pkgs.sgerrand.com/sgerrand.rsa.pub ; \
    apk add --no-cache --force-overwrite glibc-2.28-r0.apk ; \
    rm glibc-2.28-r0.apk ; \
    fi
# Install Bun
RUN npm install -g bun

[Synchro]

I found this gist that mentions a better solution - instead of pulling in a whole new source (with a fixed version number at that), install the gcompat alpine package, which is apparently the official way to provide support for glibc programs.

[squishyu]

@Synchro gcompat was among the first things I tried, it throws a different error...

On arm64 it throws:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Worth mentioning that while my solution isn't optimal, it only downloads a single package, installs it, then deletes the package file.

[Synchro]

It sounds like that's a problem in the package itself, rather than in the install process for it though? Was that reported to bun?

[taranek]

@Synchro Answering your 2nd question: this whole thread is a bug report in Bun's repository ;)

[Electroid]

We just introduced a new Docker image: oven/bun:alpine. Does this issue still happen if you use that as a base?

[sumicet]

npm i -g bun
npm i

works on WSL

Same here, I'm confused how to solve this?

[XantreDev]

bun:alpine

We use bun for some scripts. It should work inside node:alpine images

[dum3ng]

In node:20.12.2-alpine image, installed glibc-2.35-r1.apk, but still got the error when npm install -g bun@1.1.10

[van-fe]

This problem still exists, on bun@1.1.13. But on bun@1.1.11, it won't appear.

[nodegin]

@XantreDev

FROM oven/bun:alpine AS bun
COPY --from=bun /usr/local/bin/bun /usr/local/bin/bun

[christophemarois]

Installing bun on alpine, be it from an official oven/bun:alpine docker image, the npm repository or other installation methods still doesn't work out of the box.

Adding gcompat makes the bun binary run, but produces segfaults in many modules, i.e. with tailwindcss.

So far, the only solution that works is https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/5545#issuecomment-1722461083

I'm really looking forward for the oven/bun:alpine alpine to work out of the box!
