dockerutil.BuildEmptyImage() fails with bad API version #646

jimcottrell · 2024-02-26T18:55:55Z

I've got a CI/CD pipeline that's run occasionally when we rebuild a image and create an optimized version with Slim. Without anything having changed that I'm aware of (same Slim version, same pipeline runner), this process has started failing with:

dockerutil.BuildEmptyImage: dockerapi.BuildImage() error = API error (400): client version 1.12 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.24, please upgrade your client to a newer version

I thought this might be related to #637, but it seems to be a separate issue, and the same thing happens whether or not I try setting --crt-api-version. Having updated everything to the latest versions, the problem continues. The issue seems to be specific to this environment, as a local build works.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

slim build --http-probe-off --continue-after=enter alpine

(trivial reproduction; of course not our actual image)

Interesting... need to investigate/repro. Either way, the next release should address this. Check back a bit later or follow me on Github or Twitter to be notified when the new release is out.

jimcottrell · 2024-02-28T17:37:31Z

Sounds good, thanks. I'll see how the next version works out. We're still having some build issues, but it looks like if we set a DOCKER_API_VERSION environment variable, we can at least get past this error.

jimcottrell · 2024-02-28T18:23:14Z

For reference, other versions may work (1.44 did not), but we seem to be back in business with

export DOCKER_API_VERSION='1.25'

in our pipeline

kcq · 2024-04-06T07:07:55Z

@jimcottrell this might work as-is https://github.com/mintoolkit/mint/releases/tag/1.41.1 let me know if you still have problems there

jimcottrell · 2024-04-26T17:19:03Z

I've tried with v1.41.1 and no explicit DOCKER_API_VERSION and I get that same error: client version 1.12 is too old

kcq · 2024-04-26T18:54:13Z

@jimcottrell which version of Docker do you have installed? Are you on Mac or Linux? If you are on Linux are you using Docker Desktop or only Docker Engine? If you are on a Mac is it an AMD or an M1/M2? Trying to repro... more info on your environment will help

Seems to be a common problem looking at #637 and caused by #641

@sammcj do you get the same result with this version?

kcq · 2024-05-05T18:35:54Z

@sammcj Here's the Vagrant-based repro with Fedora 39 and Docker 26.1.1. You should be good with the release version in the repro config. The release version you shared in this issue is out of date.

jimcottrell · 2024-06-03T18:03:28Z

@kcq Sorry for the delay in responding. As noted before, this is happening only on a self-hosted Bitbucket pipeline runner (linux/amd64). When I run locally, I have no issue. To make Slim work in the pipeline environment, it has to run via the docker:dind image.

@jimcottrell Running with dind in Bitbucket runners makes it more complicated because each CI/CD vendor does the dind setup in slightly different ways, which requires different ways to connect to the (correct) Docker runtime. Some environments don't expose the Docker unix socket. Other environments need certs to connect to the Docker runtime. Some have more advanced network configurations that prevents direct container communication, so the --sensor-ipc-mode and --sensor-ipc-endpoint flags need to be used. The RUNNING CONTAINERIZED README section covers a few examples

To troubleshoot your setup we need two things to get started:

How you invoke the slim command in your dind setup (if it's slim build --http-probe-off --continue-after=enter alpine then it needs to be updated to point to the dind Docker runtime. optionally you can try using the containerized version of the app, but that's not required).
Your Bitbucket runner config that defines how the dind magic is configured.

jimcottrell · 2024-06-05T23:18:05Z

Here's a simplified version of our bitbucket-pipelines.yml that fails with client version 1.12 is too old:

image:
  name: atlassian/default-image:4
definitions:
  services:
    privileged-docker:
      type: docker
      image:
        name: docker:dind
pipelines:
  custom:
    test:
      - step:
          runs-on:
            - linux
            - self.hosted
          name: Build Optimized Image
          services:
            - privileged-docker
          script:
            - curl https://downloads.dockerslim.com/releases/1.40.11/dist_linux.tar.gz -o slim.tar.gz
            - tar xvf slim.tar.gz
            #- export DOCKER_API_VERSION='1.25' # Temporary, see https://github.com/slimtoolkit/slim/issues/646
            - ./dist_linux/slim build --continue-after=enter alpine

I tried it with --in-container=true which didn't make any difference. What needs to be updated to point to the dind Docker runtime? Apart from this one case, I'm not very familiar with dind. The DOCKER_HOST environment variable exists, but I don't believe the Docker UNIX socket is present.

schowave · 2024-08-01T11:03:43Z

Are there any updates here?

I am having the same problem with a gitlab pipeline and dind

kcq · 2024-08-01T22:21:46Z

The latest release, 1.41.5, shouldn't have the docker API problem.

To connect to the Docker daemon it might be necessary to extract the daemon IP address from the /etc/hosts file if the environment doesn't configure DOCKER_HOST on its own properly. Here's an example for Gitlab (need to double check if it still works): docker run -e DOCKER_HOST=tcp://$(grep docker /etc/hosts | cut -f1):2375 mintoolkit/mint slim your-docker-image-name

Might need to use the --sensor-ipc-mode and --sensor-ipc-endpoint flags too for dind depending on the CI/CD vendor.

I'll repro it with Gitlab first to confirm that the setup is still ok. Then I'll try to repro with a Bitbucket setup.

schowave · 2024-08-02T05:52:10Z

Okay, than the installation routine should be adapted:
I installed it via:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/slimtoolkit/slim/master/scripts/install-slim.sh | bash -
and in the script, the latest version is:

curl -sL https://api.github.com/repos/slimtoolkit/slim/releases | grep tag_name | head -n1 | cut -d'"' -f4
1.40.11

Hello @kcq !
I had same problem with latest mint 1.41.7 (installed with this install script), Docker latest (27.3.1), Docker API v1.47, but the only solution was to set explicitely => DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.47 (on the Github workflow running on a self-hosted runner)

Hello @kcq !
I had same problem with latest mint 1.41.7, Docker latest (27.3.1), Docker API v1.47, and the only solution was to set explicitely => DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.47

What image did you try to slim or was it a different command? Do you have a repro?

marcoaversanoigt · 2024-11-29T10:47:59Z

Hello @kcq !
I had same problem with latest mint 1.41.7, Docker latest (27.3.1), Docker API v1.47, and the only solution was to set explicitely => DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.47

What image did you try to slim or was it a different command? Do you have a repro?

It is a custom internal image, already created.

Found just now that i'm forced to use the 'export' =>

export DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.47
mint slim [...]

or
to put the variable definition inline =>
DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.47 mint slim [...]

While if i do:

DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.47
mint slim [...]

It says again client API 1.12 is too old.
