Tar problem deploying an app on Deis

[MaxenceAdnot]

I tried to deploy a meteor app on a Deis cluster : http://deis.io (which simply takes the Dockerfile and produces an image before running it) but it failed due to tar errors while installing Meteor:

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Installation failed.
The command '/bin/sh -c bash $METEORD_DIR/lib/install_meteor.sh' returned a non-zero code: 2

The error Directory renamed before its status could be extracted seems to be linked to a permission fault but I didn't found any way to fix this. Onbuild or devbuild don't change anything

PS: The error is not occurring while building the image locally with either onbuild or devbuild.

Thank you in advance for your support

The problem is only occurring with Docker using overlayfs as storage driver which is now the default for CoreOS.

[arunoda]

Any idea for a fix?

[MaxenceAdnot]

Here's the answer I got from Meteor (cf meteor/meteor#5762):

stubailo commented 21 days ago
I don't think installing Meteor inside Docker on CoreOS is an officially supported environment. Also, you shouldn't need to install Meteor anywhere when deploying your app. We're working on a deployment guide, but the important point is that you should run meteor build locally and then deploy a node.js app bundle. Read more here: http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/deploying
Am I misunderstanding something? Is there some reason you need to install Meteor inside your deployment container?

My Dockerfile is now looking something like that :

FROM node:0.10.41

ADD .build/myapp.tar.gz /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app/bundle/programs/server
RUN npm install

ENV ROOT_URL http://MYURL
ENV PORT 8000

EXPOSE 8000
ENTRYPOINT ["node", "/usr/src/app/bundle/main.js"]

You just have to launch the meteor build command before building your Docker image.

[arunoda]

Okay. That's exactly as this I think: https://github.com/meteorhacks/meteord#2-running-a-meteor-bundle-with-docker

[arunoda]

Hope we could close this.

[MaxenceAdnot]

Don't have time to test if the meteord image is working properly on the current Docker 1.10.0-dev with OverlayFS as the storage driver ...

It is perfectly working with using https://github.com/meteorhacks/meteord#2-running-a-meteor-bundle-with-docker on an OverlayFS-based Docker Engine so ... let's close this issue ;)

[MaxenceAdnot]

I do not encounter this error on non OverlayFS-based Docker engine, do you ?

Just to add, I am also seeing such errors occasionally for my Meteor apps automatic builds on Docker hub. But sometimes it works. I just have to rerun a build.

[0o-de-lally]

@mitar Is this the same error #104

[mitar]

BTW, I wrote about this to Docker and they said that they fixed it on Docker Hub. So this tar related issue is Docker issue and not really Meteor or meteord issue.
