Latest update require wine to run the docker image

[nowave7]

Describe the bug
The update to the image done on 01.04.2024 suddenly requires wine/wine-mono to be installed on the machine.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
run zwift as normal

Expected behavior
Zwift image should start and it should run normally

Screenshots

Additional context
System details, even though it ran just a few days ago, and no changes were done to the host system:
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 23.10
Release: 23.10
Codename: mantic

Linux xxxx-OptiPlex-9020 6.5.0-26-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Mar 5 21:19:28 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Selecting the install doesn't seem to have any effect.

[nowave7]

Could be related to the latest image?

[nowave7]

Oh, one more question, how to specify the image VERSION in the zwift.sh file? Obviously, latest works, but say an image that is a few days old?

[quietvoid]

You can try setting the VERSION environment variable. Like so:

VERSION=1.60.0 zwift.sh

I think the updater scripts would override previous image tags.

[nowave7]

Thanks, found it...
Well, one can also set DONT_PULL, so that should be fine, or even better change the VERSION in the starting script.
Just as a quick confirmation, version 1.60.0 is working fine.

[quietvoid]

1.61.0 works fine for my locally built image FWIW.
Maybe @netbrain needs to rebuild the image and install wine-mono.

[nowave7]

Hmm... That is strange. I did stop all the containers, and deleted all of the images, re-downloaded the latest one, still the same behavior.

[jdohm]

if I click install, at the Wine Mono Installer, I get the following screen later:

Wine Mono seems to be already included in the docker image:

zwift/Dockerfile

Line 82 in 24ac826

RUN wget https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono/${WINE_MONO_VERSION}/wine-mono-${WINE_MONO_VERSION}-x86.msi \

I noticed that afterwards there is a Zwift icon in my tray. If i right click it and click on open, I get an error message, telling me that WebView2 needs to be installed.
Sadly that is as far as I got.

For the moment I'm also using a workaround, I changed line 8 in the /usr/local/bin/zwift file to
VERSION=1.60.0

1.61.0 did not work for me.

[netbrain]

Has anyone tried building the latest locally using bin/build_image.sh?

[jdohm]

just tried, but fails for me. However, this could be something completely unrelated since I have never build it in the past...

I tried to build locally as well, and if I recall correctly, I also got this error message. Will check once I get home just to make sure.

[netbrain]

Tried building from scratch locally and seems to build ok but that is probably because i have an old cache. if i try to build it with github actions i get

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 : Depends: libllvm17t64:i386 but it is not installable

However, even tho im building it correctly, when i run i get 01f0:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow L"Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly."

So not sure what is going on, and I don't have time right now to look into it any further, so i guess you should simply use VERSION=1.60.0 zwift until this is resolved.

[nowave7]

Just to confirm what is already known. Building the image locally fails for me as does for @jdohm .
Log attached.
zwift_image_build.log

EDIT:
This is interesting:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66008106/error-building-docker-image-executor-failed-running-bin-sh-c-apt-get-y-upda
Could it be somehow related to the daylight savings? Wrong timestamp somewhere? It certainly fits the timeframe when it started to appear.

On a closer look, this looks to be the original issue.

7.518  libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 : Depends: libllvm17t64:i386 but it is not installable

[quietvoid]

It's most likely related to the image installing from Debian unstable sid since #63.
There are definitely conflicting package versions.

It would probably be best to base the image on a rolling release distro or to use the Debian unstable image.

[netbrain]

Can anyone try to build #81?

[nowave7]

Can anyone try to build #81?

Yes, just tried it. The image seem to build, but it still doesn't seem to work.

Let me know if you need the logs.

[netbrain]

@nowave7 i fear you are running the wrong IMAGE after build_image.sh try running IMAGE=netbrain/zwift ./zwift.sh

[nowave7]

@netbrain
Okay, but with that command, the new images is being pulled. Is that expected?

Nevertheless, the problem remains.
EDIT: I may have spoken too soon. The zwift installation seem to still be running.

EDIT2: Still the same in the end. Mono installation missing.

[quietvoid]

You need to click Install when it prompts for Wine mono.

[nowave7]

@quietvoid
Okay, I did that, but the application is not starting. And when I rerun the script, it looks as if thought the mono is still missing, and the application installation starts from scratch.

[quietvoid]

I don't know. You could always rename the image tag in the build-image.sh script, instead of netbrain/zwift.
You'd need to adjust the launch script to use the different tag.

[nowave7]

I took your advice @quietvoid and renamed the image version tag, and it seem to have worked now. Thanks!
I believe the correct version to be 1.61.0?

This would then solve the issue, and the PR can be merged to master.

[quietvoid]

Yes 1.61.0 is still the latest (1.62.0 is out but not for everyone yet).

[netbrain]

Good to know, but as @quietvoid pointed out, going back to bookworm might cause issues with graphics drivers for other users. so im trying to upgrade to sid across the board, but seems to be a couple of snags in order to get that working.

Might look into using something else than debian as the base image. getting it to work with alpine with xorg and wayland would probably be the best.

[netbrain]

Actually got zwift to work on alpine now pretty easily in my POC, so think i might swap out debian for alpine as a test to see if this would fare better over time.. 🤞 , this was also running wine 9.0 which has native experimental support for wayland

[jdohm]

let us know if you need additional testers :)

[urge4code]

Got it working using the image tag. Available for testing too if needed! Thank you for this!

[netbrain]

Weird thing is, i got it working pretty easily on my POC when just hacking away and running everything manually, now when trying to run everything through the automated docker environment. things seems to fail in unexplainable ways 😞 .

In any case if people wan't to tag along and maybe learn a thing or two, here is a way you can try to install zwift on your own in an ephemeral environment:

xhost + # if running xorg
docker run --privileged \
  -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
  --device=/dev/dri/card0 \
  --device=/dev/dri/renderD128 \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix  \
  -it --rm  alpine:edge

Your docker command may vary depending on hardware, if nvidia, would probably suffice with --gpus all for graphics

My example is running alpine:edge image, but you can experiment with others if you like,

Now that you have a running alpine environment running, first experiment should be to see if graphics is working and can be forwarded to host. so add mesa-utils and mesa-drivers.

apk add mesa-utils mesa-dri-gallium
glxgears

you should now see some spinning gears, if not your graphics device is probably not available in the container or you are missing some drivers.

If things are still working you should now be ready to install wine and zwift.

apk add wine wine-dev

You can test that wine is working by issuing the command wine notepad.

next you also need/want winetricks and some other utilities

 apk add wget grep bash gnutls vim samba-winbind-clients
  wget \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/${WINETRICKS_VERSION}/src/winetricks \
  -O /usr/local/bin/winetricks && \
  chmod +x /usr/local/bin/winetricks

Replace WINETRICKS_VERSION with a suitable version.

next to install zwift you require dotnet48, install by issuing winetricks dotnet48 you can also install silently with -q flag

then finally download zwift wget https://cdn.zwift.com/app/ZwiftSetup.exe and install with wine ZwiftSetup.exe

If all goes well you and everything installs you should then be ready to launch zwift, however this is where some runfromprocess-rs is required. Please refer to the entrypoint.sh on how runfromprocess-rs.exe is run in conjunction with ZwiftLauncher.exe. But in essence runfromprocess is used to simulate that ZwiftApp.exe is being run or forked off a parent process ZwiftLauncher.exe. In order to get a hold of this runfromprocess-rs application you can either compile the source code yourself, or copy it from an existing docker container, the latter probably being the easiest.

Something along the lines of :

docker run -d --entrypoint sleep infinity --name temp netbrain/zwift:xxx
docker cp temp:/usr/bin/runfromprocess-rs.exe ./runfromprocess-rs.exe
docker cp ./runfromprocess-rs.exe <your-alpine-container-id>:/usr/bin/runfromprocess-rs.exe

You should now have your own copy of runfromprocess-rs in the alpine container which you can use to launch zwift.

Also take a look at my zwift.verb file which you can use to install zwift on a more automated way.

winetricks -q dotnet48 ./zwift.verb should do the trick when the environment is up and running.

Ill hopefully soon get around to create a fully automated system, and in any case would be great if you guys would manage to create a reproducible build of zwift using alpine or any other tiny image for that matter.

Let me know how you fare, I've butted against quite a few issues, probably more than described in this post.

[netbrain]

Just got it working again now manually, seems to be some issue creeping up when running things in unattended mode. Not sure why. but i'll look into it more in the next few days, hopefully. 🤞

[netbrain]

I've also now rolled back to 1.60.0 being the latest in docker hub and paused zwift update github action as to not create new failing container images.

[quietvoid]

if you guys would manage to create a reproducible build of zwift using alpine or any other tiny image for that matter.

I've mentioned it before but I maintain my own image based on Arch Linux here:

• X11 version: https://github.com/quietvoid/zwift/blob/mod-xorg/bin/image/Dockerfile
• Wine 64 bit only + Wayland version: https://github.com/quietvoid/zwift/blob/mod/bin/image/Dockerfile

I haven't tried making it compatible with NVIDIA GPUs, so it's only missing that.

The Wayland only version is semi-broken since the Wine Wayland driver is very new.
For example it seems automatic window scaling is not supported yet, so there are bugs if the resolution is different in game vs. on the display.

[netbrain]

shameless self-promotion 🤣

Yeah, archlinux is definitely an option. But i would prefer if we could use alpine or something more lightweight. Not saying that archlinux is wrong in any way, im a fan. But ideally i'd like to have a statically compiled wine binary on a scratch docker container and nothing else. But that's not going to happen in any time soon. So the closest were gonna get right now is something like alpine.

I guess it's time for me to get intimate with docker... :D
Will have some time over the weekend to try this out.
Will gladly do the testing as well.

the latest changes to #81 now works, please give it a go. I have not optimized this, for instance installing webview2 from external url might be unnecessary as zwift seems to provide it's own webview2. But atleast now we have a starting point for optimizing it further.

[netbrain]

using alpine seems to give a good image size reduction on unpacked images

REPOSITORY                                              TAG             IMAGE ID       CREATED          SIZE
netbrain/zwift                                          1.62.0          56b172ec6e04   14 minutes ago   7.49GB
netbrain/zwift                                          1.60.0          60d5ed64a3c7   4 weeks ago      10GB

Will be exciting to see the gzipped down size of the image when uploaded to docker hub 🤗

Building locally as we speak...
Image size is not that important atm, at least not for me, but sure, once it's stable, the size can then also be addressed.

[netbrain]

I can confirm that x11/xorg with intel works fine with xwayland, however pure wayland does not (setting DISPLAY=""). Seems to fail on detecting graphics driver. however sound/pulseaudio works. So should be feature wise identical to the debian alternative.

[nowave7]

Okay, this is weird.
On my main Linux machine, I get to a point where it seems to try to connect to the zwift server in order to download the application but cannot:

+ get_current_version
+ '[' -f Zwift_ver_cur_filename.txt ']'
++ cat Zwift_ver_cur_filename.txt
/bin/entrypoint: line 13: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input
+ CUR_FILENAME=Zwift_ver_cur.xml
+ grep -q sversion Zwift_ver_cur.xml
+ ZWIFT_VERSION_CURRENT=0.0.0
+ '[' 0.0.0 = 1.62.0 ']'
+ echo 'updating in progress...'
updating in progress...
+ sleep 5

This just keeps going on...
Will try on the laptop as well... But all my Linux machines run Mint, not that that should matter, right?

EDIT:
This is coming from the laptop, a bit more but still loops at the same spot:

[netbrain]

It's just downloading Zwift files in the background. Give it some time, it should finish.

You can verify this by tailing the Zwift launcher log file.

[nowave7]

Oh, okay, I have gotten a little impatient. Will give it another go :)

[netbrain]

docker exec -it zwift tail -F /home/user/.wine/drive_c/users/user/Documents/Zwift/Logs/Launcher_log.txt

Try running the above while updating.

[urge4code]

@netbrain is there any way to message you directly? I've clicked around here on github but can't find anything. Just wanted to say thank you!

Also, did my first zwift tonight with the docker running on Ubuntu at a very nice 4k resolution on the TV in my garage. Fantastic!
(please feel free to move this comment or something, I wasn't sure where else to say how great this is working for me)

No sorry, not very active on any social media or Im platforms.

However, comments like these that make it all worthwhile, thanks🤗👍
