step 15 fails on docker build

[ghost]

I tried building a docker container with the following command:

docker build \
    -t rbrewer123/nikola \
    -f Dockerfile .

where the Dockerfile is this file.

I tried again with

docker build -t rbrewer123/nikola github.com/rbrewer123/docker_nikola

In both cases the builds proceeded to step 15 and then returned with an error:

I can confirm this issue. I ran into it right now.

I started the steps in a container manually. The command that fails is (particularly python-pygal):

pkgbuilder --noconfirm \
  python-pygal \
  python-pyphen \
  python-typogrify

The .SRCINFO file is obviously missing:

[user@0ec9b672cad6 python-pygal]$ ls -la /home/user/community/python-pygal/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Dec  4 20:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4096 Dec  4 20:08 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 1589 Dec  4 20:08 PKGBUILD

It looks like a Arch upstream bug which is not related to docker_nikola.

Thanks for the detailed report and confirmation. Alas it will be a couple days until I'm back at my machine to investigate further. From the messages, perhaps the latest python-pygal dependency is in a wonky state.

[ghost]

Thanks for your efforts. I ended up using a modified Ubuntu 14.04 Docker image I had lying around. Yours inspired me to make mine.

[kallies]

@dmmmdfll though it doesn't solve this issue but: do you want to share your efforts (alternative Dockerfile via fork/PR)?

[ghost]

Yes. Let me work on it some more. I am still familiarizing myself with Docker. I have a rather idiomatic mashup going at the moment that might not be repeatable by others since it likely only makes sense to me. And I also have to learn how to do a fork/PR.

[ghost]

Done! With a little more work to do to get all the extras in Nikola functioning as expected.

[hwine]

I also ran into the original issue, and probably had a few more challenges as I'm running docker on OSX. I could not get the arch linux docker image to build, but I could not get nikola to run correctly (finally down to gdbm issues from inside doit.py).

I applied PR #3 locally, and everything worked first time out!! Thanks @dmmmdfll \o/

[kpolucas]

I just push a little fix for the webassets in the Dockerfile. with that change i can build it just fine.
