Stuck in cloning template when vapor new a project in a Linux Docker container

[ElectronFang]

Describe the issue

I try to create a new Vapor project in a Linux Docker container, but stuck in cloning template

Vapor version

I think it should be a newest version, I can't new a project, so I can't find the package file.

Operating system and version

Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

Swift version

swift 5.10

Steps to reproduce

1. Pull the latest swift image in Docker
2. Install vapor
3. Use the command vapor new

Outcome

No response

Is this still happening? Does cloning https://github.com/vapor/template manually work for you?

I'm unable to reproduce

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your reply, I am a beginner, and sorry to take your time.

1. I can git clone a template, but vapor --template has same issue. I found out that I don't need to use the command vapor new to create a project, I can manually modify the template to my project. But I still feel weird, worry something will go wrong when I don't follow the official tutorial.

2. I use this image as my container https://github.com/apple/swift-docker/blob/ea035798755cce4ec41e0c6dbdd320904cef0421/5.10/ubuntu/22.04/Dockerfile

is there something with the container?

Oh right I missed that you're running inside a Docker container. Yeah it could be because it's missing curl or another package, though it is just using git clone under the hood. I would say that it's not particularly designed for running in containers, it's more designed for where you do development.

I can reproduce this though, haven't tried to debug it

Thanks Tim,

To provide more information for you, I tried last year when I know Vapor, 'vapor new' works in Linux Container, I thought it's my fault and tried a lot of times.

I also tried use Dev Container Extension of VScode to add a swift container with Vapor, but it also failed and stuck in the process of installing vapor.

Hope it helps and thanks for all of your hardwork.
