I have exactly the same problem, has anyone found a way to solve it?

[RiccardoGrigoletto]

Same here

[nickerlan]

Same here

[nickerlan]

Got it working by deleting "-alpine" suffix in Dockerfile
But now I have heavy node package

FROM node:12

[JakeFDev]

I'm running python just fine but i'm using one of the official python docker images.

e.g.

FROM python:3.7-slim-stretch

[NicolienB]

This worked for me:

FROM python:3.7-slim-stretch
FROM node
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN yarn install --production
CMD ["node", "src/index.js"]

[RiccardoGrigoletto]

This worked for me:

FROM python:3.7-slim-stretch
FROM node
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN yarn install --production
CMD ["node", "src/index.js"]

Worked for me too.

[rfugal]

OK, the original title is perhaps a misnomer. M1 Preview can install Python, but following the tutorial doesn't work. Changing FROM node:12-alpine to FROM node:12 works, but being new to Docker (thus running the tutorial) I was unaware of these nuances; and like @nickerlan mentioned, now I'm running a heavy version of node (I don't care, I just want to complete the tutorial). So, perhaps this needs to be an open issue in Docker/Getting-Started or something wrong with node:12-alpine running on M1, but the point is a noob running the tutorial runs into an issue.

[khrystoph]

If you want to remain light and lean, I found that you can make the following changes to your Dockerfile so that you get all the dependencies that don't come in the alpine12 image:

FROM node:12-alpine
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
RUN apk add --update --no-cache python3 && ln -sf python3 /usr/bin/python
RUN apk add --update --no-cache make gcc libc-dev g++
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN yarn install --production
CMD ["node", "src/index.js"]

Adding in the gcc, libc-dev, and g++ as well as the python3 install and symlinking ensures that you end up with all the dependencies you need. You could definitely optimize the commands a bit (by doing a single apk add), but the fix here isn't too bad.

I'd probably clean up my file to look more like this:

FROM node:12-alpine
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
RUN apk add --update --no-cache python3 make gcc libc-dev g++
RUN ln -sf python3 /usr/bin/python
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN yarn install --production
CMD ["node", "src/index.js"]

So, this would allow sticking with alpine12, which seems to be lacking those core files that the app needs to run, which are basically only there to build python packages that are needed for yarn to get javascript working in the container.

[StefanScherer]

We have updated the Dockerfile with PR docker/getting-started#104 before the M1 preview release.

When you run into that issue it seems you have to clear the local source code in the getting-started folder and remove the container with name repo.

rm -rf getting-started
docker rm repo

Then you can start the quick start guide again.

[StefanScherer]

Let me close this issue, but feel free to give feedback.
