Dockerfile is buggy: modules/Dockerfile.alpine

[AnubhavUjjawal]

In the line

docker-nginx/modules/Dockerfile.alpine

Line 21 in dcaaf66

&& hg clone https://hg.nginx.org/pkg-oss/ \

we are cloning https://hg.nginx.org/pkg-oss/ . But updates to that repository such as updating Nginx to 1.19.8 fail the docker build for earlier versions.

For example, If I use the current mainline-alpine (1.19.7-alpine) as builder, build fails.

To mitigate this, we can checkout to a specific revision using hg update -r <rev> after clone.

Hi @AnubhavUjjawal,

Can you try the following patch on top of Dockerfile.alpine:

diff --git a/modules/Dockerfile.alpine b/modules/Dockerfile.alpine
index b2b8b3e..ec64282 100644
--- a/modules/Dockerfile.alpine

             cd /pkg-oss/alpine; \

         else \
             echo "Don't know how to build $module module, exiting"; \

With your proposal, checking out a correct revision is also a good option; the reason it's not there is I wanted to have "latest and greatest" modules versions available, and not specifically tied to a specific release. Maybe we should make it configurable somehow.

@thresheek I am using a custom version of /modules/Dockerfile.alpine.

However, according to me, docker images built using Dockerfile should be reproducible if we provide the same ARG and ENV every time we build an image, that's why I came up with an initial approach of updating the revision. Packages break compatibility all the time, hence having "latest and greatest" modules versions available isn't the best approach a/c to me.

Many thanks for your feedback!

I agree, I'll fix the Dockerfiles to be reproducible.

The root clause is NGINX_VERSION is hard-coded to 1.19.8 in pkg-oss/contrib/src/nginx/version

The simple hot fix for

docker-nginx/modules/Dockerfile.alpine

Lines 21 to 22 in dcaaf66

	&& hg clone https://hg.nginx.org/pkg-oss/ \
	&& cd pkg-oss \

is

&& hg clone https://hg.nginx.org/pkg-oss/ \ 
&& cd pkg-oss \ 
&& sed -i 's/^NGINX_VERISON/# NGINX_VERSION/' contrib/src/nginx/version \
