Is there a way to install VS Code extensions in a Dockerfile?
Apparently, while most browser-based VS Code forks (including openvscode-server) do not permit headless installation of VS Code extensions (as seen from my other answer), it is possible to do such automated installs using docker build in one of them: Code Server (code-server), like in this sample Dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu:22.04
RUN apt update && apt install -y curl
# install VS Code (code-server)
RUN curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
# install VS Code extensions
RUN code-server --install-extension redhat.vscode-yaml \
--install-extension ms-python.python
Relevant fragment of the docker build log:
[..]
---> Running in 59eea050a2db
[2022-11-13T10:13:58.762Z] info Wrote default config file to ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml

Installing extension 'ms-python.python'...
Extension 'redhat.vscode-yaml' v1.10.1 was successfully installed.
Extension 'ms-python.python' v2022.16.1 was successfully installed.
[..]
Per the VS Code Documentation, the extensions property is specific to VS Code and can only be configured using .devcontainer.
The best you can do is if the extension has a CLI, you can install that. For example,
RUN npm install prettier -D --save-exact
Then use npx:
npx prettier --check .
This is sadly disallowed by design, as confirmed by this error message you will see in your docker build log when you attempt to run code --install-extension or openvscode-server --install-extension:
Command is only available in WSL or inside a Visual Studio Code terminal.
This is also confirmed (and tagged) as being as designed by one of VS Code Remote devs in this GitHub issue:
This is correct the 'vs code server CLI' is only available from the integrated terminal.
So VS Code Remote or even openvscode-server make it impossible to automate installs of first- or third-party extensions for this popular Microsoft IDE, unless you run their custom terminal inside their closed-source IDE, which normally entails buying a license for their GUI-based closed-source operating system as well;)

I am trying to build Pyodide from source on Windows. In their documentation they recommend using Docker. From the documentation:
1 Install Docker
2 From a git checkout of Pyodide, run ./run_docker or ./run_docker --pre-built
3 Run make to build.
I don't understand how to run ./run_docker?
I don't even know exactly what the file is. Is it a shell script?
Combining your question, "How do I run a script file in Windows?", with the information provided (you want to run a file called run_docker from the Pyodide project) you should get started by installing the Windows Subsystem for Linux version 2 (WSL). After you install WSL, you will need to open a command prompt, run bash to enter the Ubuntu linux distribution. From here you should follow the steps for building on Linux. When you run into a problem you can search the internet for solutions related to "Linux" or "Ubuntu".
I am using mosquitto as one of my project tool. After i successfully compile (make binary) mosquitto via source code and try to run mosquitto_sub/pub, its shows that
./mosquitto_sub: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libmosquitto.so.1: version `MOSQ_1.5' not found (required by ./mosquitto_sub)
while Mosquitto and Mosquitto_psswd is able is run without any problem. Besides, my mosquitto version is 1.5.
I have no idea about this problem.
Any Help appreciated .
It sounds like you have an earlier version of mosquitto installed and it's libraries are on the system path.
Make sure you have uninstalled any earlier versions of mosquitto installed on the machine.
Also make sure you have run make install as root in your build directory to copy the libraries to the correct locations
I had a similar issue building on rpi model B+ using GNU make 4.2.1 and cc (Raspbian 8.3.0-6+rpi1) 8.3.0
Error reported: ./mosquitto_sub: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libmosquitto.so.1: version `MOSQ_1.6' not found (required by ./mosquitto_sub)
Note: I left the existing distribution in place so that I could leverage off the systemd mosquitto.service that gets installed with the debian packages mosquitto and mosquitto-clients.
Resolution:
mkdir proj
git clone https://github.com/eclipse/mosquitto.conf
cd mosquitto
# my build failed on master branch, so I picked a tag that worked for me
git checkout -b 1.6.9 tags/1.6.9
make WITH_WEBSOCKETS=yes WITH_DOCS=yes WITH_SRV=yes
# overwrite the existing binaries
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
# verify that the newly installed binaries have overwritten the originals.

trying to install eJabberd Community server based on this tutorial
At the end of installation, it pops error message
Error: Error running Post Install Script.
The installation may have not completed correctly
What am I doing wrong?
It looks like /bin/sh is Dash on your system (apparently the default since Debian Squeeze). However, the postinstall.sh script inside the package uses brace expansion, which while widely supported in various shells is not required by the POSIX standard, and thus Dash is not in error by not supporting it. The postinstall.sh script should either specify /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh in its first line, or abstain from using Bash-specific features.
You should be able to get a functioning ejabberd install by explicitly running the postinstall script with Bash:
sudo bash /opt/ejabberd-15.07/bin/postinstall.sh
What is the correct way to install python3-gi on Travis-CI using the .travis.yml file?
The past recommendation was to use Python 3.2 (Travis-ci & Gobject introspection), but I would prefer testing against more recent versions.
I did try a few sensible combinations of commands, but my knowledge of the Travis-CI environment is very basic:
This for example fails with and without using system_site_packages: true:
before_install:
- sudo apt-get install -qq python3-gi
virtualenv:
- system_site_packages: true
Two examples of repositories that have this working (as far as I can tell):
https://github.com/ignatenkobrain/gnome-news (CircleCI)
https://github.com/devassistant/devassistant (Travis-CI)
In order to use a newer version you would either have to build it or use a container system like docker.
gnome-news has an example of a pygobject project using circleci (which is another free alternative to travis-ci). They are using fedora rawhide in docker which has the latest versions of the entire gnome stack.
I want to use apt to install some packages for the test, however, it fails due to that the sudo is disabled. I found the following in the test output:
Sudo, the FireFox addon, setuid and setgid have been disabled.
It seems that the output comes from this line in travic-ci, but setting paranoid_mode to false in .travis.yml does not work.
How to enable sudo access?
PS: I am using private repo.
EDIT: The following .travis.yml will fail due to sudo: must be setuid root when running sudo apt-get update -qq
language: python
python:
- "3.4"
before_install:
- sudo apt-get update -qq
script:
- nosetests
Setting sudo: true and/or paranoid_mode: false does not work.
Sudo access is turned off on our Docker based architecture, which will be used in two contexts:
repositories opt in using sudo: false in their .travis.yml file (it additionally needs to be turned on on our side)
on our educational program (see http://education.travis-ci.com)
Builds running on our Docker based architecture currently cannot be allowed sudo access due to certain security concerns in the LXC/Docker layer. We hope this will be fixed in the near future, but unfortunately the issue is out of our own hands.
We are also working on improving the Firefox addon, which currently uses sudo itself, but shouldn't. We'll post on our blog once this has happened.
To extend the existing answer, if you put in .travis.yml:
sudo: required
Travis should switch your build to use their "standard infrastructure" (rather than their "container based infrastructure") and then you can use sudo.

Nov 2018 Update
It seems that container-based infrastructure is getting deprecated. From the docs:
Container-based infrastructure is currently being deprecated. Please
use the fully-virtualized infrastrstructure via sudo: required
instead.
As explained in "Combining The Linux Infrastructures"
Going forward, we will slowly transition the container-based environment out, in favor of a build environment that is entirely virtual machine-based.
Folks using container-based infrastructures will be the only ones affected, and this transition will roll out slowly, depending on whether you specify sudo: false in your .travis.yml.
This is illustrated in Git 2.20 (Q4 2018), with:
Travis CI will soon deprecate the container-based infrastructure enabled by sudo: false in ce59dff (Git 2.8.0, Jan. 2016).
See commit 0f0c511 (01 Nov 2018) by SZEDER Gábor (szeder).

travis-ci: install packages in 'ci/install-dependencies.sh'
Ever since we started using Travis CI, we specified the list of packages to install in '.travis.yml' via the APT addon.
While running our builds on Travis CI's container-based infrastructure we didn't have another choice, because that environment didn't support 'sudo', and thus we didn't have permission to install packages ourselves.
With the switch to the VM-based infrastructure in the previous patch we do get a working 'sudo', so we can install packages by running 'sudo apt-get -y install ...' as well.
Let's make use of this and install necessary packages in 'ci/install-dependencies.sh', so all the dependencies (i.e. both packages and "non-packages" (P4 and Git-LFS)) are handled in the same file.
Install gcc-8 only in the 'linux-gcc' build job; so far it has been unnecessarily installed in the 'linux-clang' build job as well.
Print the versions of P4 and Git-LFS conditionally, i.e. only when they have been installed; with this change even the static analysis and documentation build jobs start using 'ci/install-dependencies.sh'
to install packages, and neither of these two build jobs depend on and
thus install those.
This change will presumably be beneficial for the upcoming Azure Pipelines integration preliminary versions of that patch series run a couple of 'apt-get' commands to install the necessary packages before running 'ci/install-dependencies.sh', but with this patch it will be sufficient to run only 'ci/install-dependencies.sh'.
