The error looks to be from

Lines 40 to 57 in e96c917

The failing command is

Line 47 in e96c917

apt-get update && apt-get install -y rsync && \

Oddly I can't reproduce the failures with node:lts/node:lts-bookworm on a separate machine.

[mhdawson]

What are the versions of ubuntu on the passing/failing based machine? Maybe that is related.

[mhdawson]

Just wondering since I see ubuntu1604 in the name of the website machine

[richardlau]

That's because it is still running Ubuntu 16.04.
The other machine I was testing on is running RHEL 8.

[targos]

Maybe this can be fixed by upgrading Docker, but I don't know if recent versions of Docker work on Ubuntu 16.04

[richardlau]

As another datapoint, I tried node:lts-bookworm on test-digitalocean-ubuntu1804-docker-x64-1 and the failing apt update command passes there. That machine is running

Docker version 24.0.1, build 6802122

The RHEL 8 machine I am on is running

Docker version 20.10.12, build e91ed57

while the www server is on

Docker version 20.10.7, build f0df350

[richardlau]

FWIW using --security-opt=seccomp:unconfined to start the container allows the bookworm-based containers to run apt-get update && apt-get install -y rsync successfully. I'd rather keep running the production build with the working bullseye-based container than use that option.

I don't know if recent versions of Docker work on Ubuntu 16.04

Ubuntu 16.04 was released in 2016 and reached its end-of-life in April 2021 (unless you have a paid subscription with Canonical) so anything still using it should really be updated.

[targos]

I think this can be closed. The website is not being built on this server anymore.

[MoLow]

+1 closing. can reopen if needed
