make docker-whl (build error: incompatible engine node version)

[sanyaade-teachings]

Hi Everyone,
I started to work around kolibri docker build tools. I was able to build the base image, the demoserver built but failed due to missing pex file which I could build with docker-whl I got the following error while running the make docker-whl :

The above error is due to the fact that the build expected [ engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "18.x". Got "12.22.9" ] .

I went through both the docker/build-whl.dockerfile [setup for nodejs 18.19.0];

package.json also has it setup for 18.19.0

I could not find the configuration file that sets it for nodejs 12.22.9 ( this is my black box as I am studying and navigating kolibri ).
I will be grate for any help, pointer or direction. Many thanks!

Hear from you all soon.

God blesses!!!

I'm not positive this is the issue but I believe the line ENV NODE_VERSION=18.19.0 is actually incorrect, and I'm surprised we haven't run into this before. That should be a build argument based off how it's used.

So some ideas for how to resolve this:

1. Could you change ENV to ARG on that previously described line in the docker file and see if that resolves your issue?
2. Could you try clearing the yarn_cache docker volume? i.e. docker volume rm yarn_cache

Many thanks for your support. I followed all your directions and steps but still the same error. All other docker images built successfully though, only the docker-whl giving this error message,
I may have to play around with the manual build step and then re-create this docker-whl.

I need to have kolibri in container on my self-hosted portainer platform.

Many thanks for your help and support.

God blesses!!!

I think the main issue here is that we don't use the make docker-whl command for anything any more, as it was previously used in our buildkite workflow, which we have stopped using, and so we haven't made any updates to it as a consequence. I think it would probably be better to clean up the unused buildkite related files, as they will continue to go unmaintained.

@rtibbles : I am interested in the Docker for kolibri. I will go through the developer documentation and replicate them for docker environment. I was also thinking about docker-compose way of running kolibri, studio, etc...

Also I have come accross comments in some of the source files that stated that some parameter e.g. kolibri ports are hard coded. I went through the env.list, and others, just to pin down where the build is picking up ==> e.g "got 12.22.4", even looked/skim through inside yarn.lock.

I run many applications both for research and teachings hence the dockerized and microservices are the way to go.

Many thanks for your support. Much appreciated.

God blesses!!!

Closing as it seems resolved as far as I can say
