BusyBox find does not support -printf

[Flygsand]

Changes introduced in #1489 (or, more specifically, this line) causes the cAdvisor Docker image to trip up because Alpine/BusyBox find does not implement -printf:

find: unrecognized: -printf
BusyBox v1.24.2 (2016-08-12 14:38:34 GMT) multi-call binary.

Possible fixes include installing GNU findutils (adding about 558k to the base Alpine image), or counting based on lines (supposedly slower).

Closed via #1558. Anyone experiencing this problem can update to v0.25.0

[guydavis]

Hmm, what am I missing? I am seeing a similar error on CentOS 7.3 with Docker 1.11.2 using CAdvisor v0.25.0 still.

sudo docker run --privileged=true --volume=/cgroup:/cgroup:ro --volume=/:/rootfs:ro --volume=/var/run:/var/run:rw --volume=/sys:/sys:ro --volume=/var/lib/docker/:/var/lib/docker:ro --publish=8725:8080 --detach=true --name=cadvisor google/cadvisor:v0.25.0 -storage_driver_db=influxdb -storage_driver_host=$INFLUX_HOST_NAME:8086

Docker log for CAdvisor shows:

Usage: find [-HL] [PATH]... [OPTIONS] [ACTIONS]

Search for files and perform actions on them.
First failed action stops processing of current file.
Defaults: PATH is current directory, action is '-print'

Also tried, with google/cadvisor:latest. Same error, with no data error arriving in InfluxDB. Any tips would be most appreciated!

[dashpole]

My bad, it looks like this issue was separate from the one solved in #1558.

[dashpole]

@timstclair should we add GNUfind utils as a dependency?

[timstclair]

I think that's a reasonable fix until we get #1576 in

[Pluto1010]

I'm experiencing the same problem with 0.25.0

[slamont]

I'm having the same problem with v0.25.0-17543be

[toni-moreno]

I have the same problem, It seems th problem is in the find version ( not gnu find) in the busybox , there is plans to fix the current official cAdvisor docker image?

Thank you very much

[lio-li]

Use: apk -U add findutils in you container and commit it to your image

[rauschbit]

any news on this topic?
we are experiencing the same problem - hopefully there will be a patch for this shortly...

[blep]

I confirm that using apk -U add findutils solves the issue. I've made a docker automated build with that fix:
https://hub.docker.com/r/blep/cadvisor_bugfix1556/

On a side note, google/cadvisor:latest still target v0.25.0 instead of v0.26.1.

[endeepak]

Thanks @blep. @google-admin please add this fix in official image.

[SimonSK]

has this been fixed in official image?

[dashpole]

This was fixed in #1698
