How to run Bazel container images on OSX? - bazel

According to the documentation at bazelbuild/rules_docker, it should be possible to work with these container images on OSX, and it also claims that it's possible to do so without docker.
These rules do not require / use Docker for pulling, building, or pushing images. This means:
They can be used to develop Docker containers on Windows / OSX without boot2docker or docker-machine installed.
They do not require root access on your workstation.
How do I do that? Here's a simple rule:
go_image(
name = "helloworld_image",
importpath = "github.com/nictuku/helloworld",
library = ":go_default_library",
visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)
I can build the image with bazel build :helloworld_image. It produces a tar ball in blaze-bin, but it won't run it:
INFO: Running command line: bazel-bin/helloworld_image
Loaded image ID: sha256:08d312b529d30431c68741fd3a31468a02533f27a8c2c29eedc969dae5a39852
Tagging 08d312b529d30431c68741fd3a31468a02533f27a8c2c29eedc969dae5a39852 as bazel:helloworld_image
standard_init_linux.go:185: exec user process caused "exec format error"
ERROR: Non-zero return code '1' from command: Process exited with status 1.
It's trying to run the linux this is OSX, which is silly.
I also tried doing a "docker load" on the .tar content but it doesn't seem to like that format.
$ docker load -i bazel-bin/helloworld_image-layer.tar
open /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-import-330829602/app/json: no such file or directory
Help? Thanks!

You are building for your host platform by default so you need to build for the container platform if you want to do that.
Since you are using a go binary, you can do cross compilation by specifying --cpu=k8 on the command line. Ideally we would be able to just say that the docker image needs a linux binary (so no need to specify the --cpu command-line flag) but this is still a work in progress in Bazel.

How to access scala shell using docker image for spark

I just downloaded this docker image to set up a spark cluster with two worker nodes. Cluster is up and running however I want to submit my scala file to this cluster. I am not able to start spark-shell in this.
When I was using another docker image, I was able to start it using spark-shell.
Can someone please explain if I need to install scala separately in the image or there is a different way to start
UPDATE
Here is the error bash: spark-shell: command not found
bash: spark-shell: command not found
root#a7b0682ff17d:/opt/spark# ls /home/shangupta/Scripts/
ProfileData.json demo.scala queries.scala
TestDataGeneration.sql input.scala
root#a7b0682ff17d:/opt/spark# spark-shell /home/shangupta/Scripts/input.scala
bash: spark-shell: command not found
root#a7b0682ff17d:/opt/spark#
You're getting command not found because PATH isn't correctly established
Use the absolute path /opt/spark/bin/spark-shell
Also, I'd suggest packaging your Scala project as an uber jar to submit unless you have no external dependencies or like to add --packages/--jars manually

Trying to port application to docker nanoserver container. Running exe fails with exit code -1073741515 (Dependency missing)

I'm currently trying to port my image optimizer application to a NanoServer docker image. One of the tools my image optimizer uses is truepng.exe. (Can be downloaded here: http://x128.ho.ua/clicks/clicks.php?uri=TruePNG_0625.zip)
I simply created a nanoserver container and mounted a folder that contained truepng.exe:
docker run --rm -it -v C:\data:C:\data mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:2004-amd64
When I now run truepng.exe I expect some output regarding command line arguments missing:
C:\MyLocalWindowsMachine>truepng
TruePNG 0.6.2.5 : PNG Optimizer
by x128 (2010-2017)
x128#ua.fm
...
However when I call this from inside the nanoserver docker container I basically see no output:
C:\data>truepng
C:\data>echo %ERRORLEVEL%
-1073741515
As you can see above, the exit code is set to -1073741515. According to this it typically means that there's a dependency missing.
I then downloaded https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies to see the dependencies of truepng:
It seems it has some dependencies on 5 DLL's. Looking these up I found that there's apparently something called 'Reverse Forwarders': https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/windowsserver/2015/11/16/moving-to-nano-server-the-new-deployment-option-in-windows-server-2016/
According to the following post though they should already be included in nanoserver: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/5b36a6d3-84c9-4940-8b7a-9e2a38468291/reverse-forwarders-package-in-tp5?forum=NanoServer
After all this investigation I've also been playing around with manually copying over the DLL's from my local machine (system32) to the docker machine without any success (it just kept breaking other things like the copy command which required me to recreate the container). Next to that I've also copied the files from SysWOW64, but this didn't help either.
I'm currently quite stranded on how to proceed further as I'm not even sure if the tool is missing dependencies or if something else is going on. Is there a way to investigate what DLL's are missing once a tool is starting?
Kind regards,
Devedse
Edit 1: Idea from #CherryDT
I tried running gflags (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f004a7e5-9024-4555-9ada-e692fbc3160d/how-to-start-quotloader-snapsquot?forum=vcgeneral) which gave the following output:
C:\data>"C:\data\gflags.exe" /i TruePNG.exe +sls
Current Registry Settings for TruePNG.exe executable are: 00000000
After this I tried running Dbgview.exe, this however never resulted in a log file being written:
C:\data>"C:\data\DebugView\Dbgview.exe" /v /l debugview-log.txt /g /n
C:\data>
I also started TruePNG.exe again, but again, no log file was written.
I tried querying the EventLogs using a dotnet core application, but this resulted in the following exception:
Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open log Application on computer '.'. This function is not supported on this system.
at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.OpenForRead(String currentMachineName)
at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.GetEntryAtNoThrow(Int32 index)
at System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryCollection.GetEntryAtNoThrow(Int32 index)
at System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryCollection.EntriesEnumerator.MoveNext()
at EventLogReaderTest.ConsoleApp.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\data\EventLogReaderTest.ConsoleApp\Program.cs:line 22
Windows Nano Server is tiny and only supports 64-bit applications, tools, and agents. The missing dependency in this case is the entire x86 emulation layer (WoW64), as TruePNG is a 32-bit application.
Windows Server Core contains WoW64 and other components missing from Nano Server. Use a Windows Server Core image instead.
Example command:
docker run --rm -it -v C:\Temp:C:\Temp mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:2004 C:\Temp\TruePNG.exe
Yields the expected output:
TruePNG 0.6.2.5 : PNG Optimizer
by x128 (2010-2017)
x128#ua.fm
TruePNG {options} files
options:
/f# PNG delta filters 0=None, 1=Sub, 2=Up, 3=Average, 4=Paeth, 5=Mixed
/fe PNG extra filters, overrides /f switch
/i# PNG interlace method 0=None, 1=Adam7 (default input)
/g# PNG gamma 0=Remove, 1=Apply & Remove, 2=Keep (default)

Apache PredictionIO - Docker run failed

I have been trying http://predictionio.apache.org/install/install-docker/ this tutorial. I have successfully built Docker image however when I try to run docker run i get the Can't open /etc/predictionio/pio-env.sh error.
docker build -t predictionio/pio pio
docker run -ti predictionio/pio
PS: If I comment out the last line CMD ["sh", "/usr/bin/pio_run"] I can build and run docker image successfully. I can open the file too from docker bash.
I think you need to grant permissions to execute this file. add the following line at the end of your Dockerfile
RUN chmod +x pio_run.sh
also, you might need to change CMD to ENTRYPOINT like following:
ENTRYPOINT ["sh","/usr/bin/pio_run.sh"]
Your output states you are running Windows. Did you use the default command prompt or did you use docker terminal? I had the same error messages in the past on Windows but mysteriously it disappeared after trying the tutorial again. I am not sure what I did different except I might possibly used docker instead of the default command prompt...
Could you also try using docker-compose instead of plain docker commands as described in the tutorial?
Ensure your storage (Postgres, MySQL or ElasticSearch) is running before starting PIO as well.
Just resolved it on my machine.
When you cloned repository on Windows, git converted end of line symbols from Unix-style (\n) to Windows style (\r\n).
You need to open file C:\wherever-you-cloned-pio-repository\predictionio\docker\pio\pio_run and change it back (for e.g. using Visual Studio Code, or Notepad++). Then you need to rebuild the image and it should work.
Also for the future you may want to disable automatic conversion Disable git EOL Conversions

NodeMCU Build in Docker results in "exec format error"

I'm trying the NodeMCU Docker build in Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS for the first time.
I have read the tagged articles here for Docker and NodeMCU, but don't see this particular error.
"docker run hello-world" has no problems.
I have tried the NodeMCU build command in both forms:
$ docker run --rm -ti -v `pwd`:/opt/nodemcu-firmware marcelstoer/nodemcu-build
and the explicit path variation:
$ docker run --rm -it -v /home/tim/nodemcu-firmware:/opt/nodemcu-firmware marcelstoer/nodemcu-build
In both cases, I get this error:
standard_init_linux.go:187: exec user process caused "exec format error"
I have searched on this error, and most solutions are related to a missing shebang.
However, I'm not sure what script would need the shebang, or why it would be not working in my case but correct for others.
Has anyone else run across this error?
Speaking without deep technical details, this error means that the kernel can not recognize the format of the executable file, thus, it can not run this file. In your case this error is about the executable file which is started when the container is launched. According to the Cmd entry in the output of docker inspect marcelstoer/nodemcu-build, it is a file /bin/sh, which is an ELF executable.
When Linux can not execute ELF binary and returns such an error (about the file format), it usually is related to the system architecture. More specifically, the image marcelstoer/nodemcu-build contains ELF64 executables (i.e. for amd64 architecture), and your system does not support it (is it i386 or even some flavor of arm?). Running docker run hello-world, however, works fine for you, because hello-world image exists for all architectures supported by Docker.
According to the Dockerfile of marcelstoer/nodemcu-build image, it is built from ubuntu, which exists for different architectures, thus, you may try building the marcelstoer/nodemcu-build image on your system rather than pulling it from the dockerhub.
P.S.: regarding the solution you have linked to your question. This is not about your case (ELF binary), rather it is about a script. In case of script, the executable format is recognized by the shebang (#!) at the very beginning of the file, thus, the script must start with #!, not with the newline. That's why the author got the same error: the kernel could not detect that this is a script and failed to start it. Different (but similar) reasons, same error.

Running C/C++ binary executable as a docker container

I am new to container world and exploring options to run my application on a container.Here are the things that I am seeing:
When I include compiling and building the C/C++ binary as part of docker image itself, it works fine with out any problems. Container starts and everything works fine.
If I try to run an already compiled and existing binary using CMD ["./helloworld"] in a container It throws me this error
standard_init_linux.go:185: exec user process caused “exec format error”.
Any ideas of how to get out of this problem? This seems like a basic problem that would have been solved already
Here is my dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu
COPY . /Users/test//Documents/CPP-Projects/HelloWorld-Static
WORKDIR /Users/test/Documents/CPP-Projects/HelloWorld-Static
CMD ["./build/exe/hellostatic/hellostatic"]
Hers is my exe:
gobjdump -a build/exe/hellostatic/hellostatic
build/exe/hellostatic/hellostatic: file format mach-o-x86-64
build/exe/hellostatic/hellostatic
Here is the error:
docker run test
standard_init_linux.go:185: exec user process caused “exec format error”
The problem is that you are trying to run an incompatible binary format in your container...
You are running an Ubuntu-based container (FROM ubuntu) line, but you are trying to run a Mach-O binary. By default, Linux will not run mach-o binaries.
Build your binary for the target platform (Ubuntu/Linux) and it will work well. It appears that you are running Mac OS X, so you could install an Ubuntu VM to compile your binary and transfer it to be used by the container.
When you build it inside the container, it works because it will be built to the right platform.
