Hello !

Mix release with NIF in a containser crashes … I can’t find why.

If I run the project locally (mix phx.serve) it works.
When I build a release locally and run it, it works.
When I copy the locally generated release directory in a Docker container and spin it up, it works.

When I build everything in a Docker container (mix release), it fails with the following error:

=INFO REPORT==== 13-May-2026::10:16:55.060537 ===

                         {error,
                             {bad_lib,

             {kernel,start,[normal,[]]}}
    type: permanent

ldd on the /app/wsdataselect/lib/wsdataselect-1.1.18/priv/libexmseed.so says everything is statically linked.

Anybody has an idea what is missing in the container ?
