Install instructions for amd64

[Nomad-Go]

I have a docker file like this.

#We want latest NODE alpine so we are as light weight as possible.
FROM node:current-alpine3.12

#Inside the container file system move to this linux directory. Standard for applications.
WORKDIR /var/task

#This will copy everything in the host machines current working directory into the working directory we changed into in the last step.
#The catch here is that we are ignoring files in the .dockerignore file. We want only the files we need for the skinniest image possible.
COPY . .

#Install C++ stuff for the AWS MQTT dependency.
RUN apk add cmake
RUN apk add libssl-dev

#Install NPM while building this image
RUN yarn upgrade

#We want to serve our server so serve it with this serve command.
CMD ["node", "server.js"]

This fails with

Step 5/10 : RUN apk add libssl-dev
 ---> Running in eb1041a7c386
ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:
  libssl-dev (missing):
    required by: world[libssl-dev]

I found online that I should use libressl-dev with Node Alpine

Modified Docker file and everything build but the aws-crt dependency now throws this:

Seems Node Alpine is not the right choice? Why not, its the most common Node base image. amd64 is what most ECS Tasks run on? Can you provide instructions?

Sorry, but we don't currently have support for Alpine linux. There is a feature request for it here. We do try to take into account community interest and this is gauged by +1 on feature requests. Please let us know if there are any other questions or feature requests that you have.

[Nomad-Go]

@jmklix is there an example docker file anywhere to run a compatible base Image?

[jmklix]

@Nomad-Go no, we don't have an example docker file.

[jmklix]

closing because this is asking for alpine support which is the same as here: #43

Using the node:18-slim and copying the aws-crt-nodejs-node in your node_modules fixed my issue

FROM node:18-slim AS base

...

# Copy the AWS CRT binary to the runner (production) image
COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules/aws-iot-device-sdk-v2/node_modules/aws-crt/dist/bin/linux-x64/aws-crt-nodejs.node /app/node_modules/aws-iot-device-sdk-v2/node_modules/aws-crt/dist/bin/linux-x64/aws-crt-nodejs.node
