Elixir docker image won't build for linux/arm64/v8 using Github Actions

#docker#github-actions

I setup a sample project on Github to show you a concrete example of a problem I’m having.

When I use

the build fails. The same happens if I use Elixir 1.14.0, but a different error.

You can see errors on the links above.

If I use the same Dockerfile on Mac M2 or Raspberry PI (aarm64 architecture), the build succeeds.

I’m not sure what could be the issue.

The build also succeeds

  • if I use Github Actions but some other architecture.
  • if I use Elixir 1.13.4

Any idea would be much appreciated :folded_hands:.

I just updated my docker file yesterday and running it with GitHub actions - these images worked:

ARG BUILDER_IMAGE="hexpm/elixir:1.14.3-erlang-25.3-debian-bullseye-20230227-slim"
ARG RUNNER_IMAGE="debian:bullseye-20230522-slim"

I see Github Actions logs aren’t public, I’m adding relevant log snippet below

It looks like this is caused by QEMU not liking our JIT. :confused:

Thanks for the suggestion! I tried using the builder image you posted, but it still fails :thinking:. Were you able to make it work on the architecture linux/arm64/v8?

Thank you for finding this. Do you know if there is an alternative for QEMU or some other solution for the problem or could it be that everyone who uses Github Actions is doomed?

I’ll see if I can make a PR that fixes this in QEMU, it doesn’t seem to be a very high priority for them.

For the time being you can disable the JIT by compiling Erlang with ./configure --disable-jit.

I am absolutely not as well versed as an Erlang core contributor but as a blind shot in the dark I’d also try the official hexpm Docker images. There’s a ton of Erlang and Elixir version combinations.

I’ll give building my own image a try. If you find the time for making the PR with the fix, that would be amazing!

At the end, I stopped using QEMU and started building images with BuildJet for GitHub Actions | BuildJet for GitHub Actions.

It works, it’s faster, and cheaper than using GitHub hosted runners.

Thanks for help everyone!
