Workaround for Docker with Erlang/OTP 21.3

Thanks - I got bit by this too. If you’re using Elixir 1.8.1, I made an image over here: tomtaylor/elixir - Docker Image (using this Dockerfile: GitHub - breakroom/elixir-docker-image · GitHub)

This is part of why treating specific Docker image tags as mutable is so dangerous. When I’m in front of a computer I can check if I still have the correct SHA256 image checksums for the prior version that used OTP 21.2.x, because I pin them in my FROM lines after experiences similar to this.

The historical version of the official image that included OTP 21.2.6 can be obtained by referring to this image syntax:

elixir:1.8.1-alpine@sha256:f6a0647245a467f7affee2e635341eb40d4b9dee88467f3b14a30707dbd21308

This syntax is compatible with, among others, docker pull, docker run, FROM in a Dockerfile, and Kubernetes manifests. The checksum is output whenever you pull an image via the normal docker pull CLI, and is also available after the fact via docker inspect $imageID under the RepoDigests key.

You can bulk check your image tags and digests like this, which may catch historical copies that were untagged by a subsequent pull:

docker images elixir -q | xargs -n1 docker inspect | jq ".[] | { tag: .RepoTags[0], digest: .RepoDigests[0] }"

Oh man, this was driving me crazy for days. Thanks.

Wir seeing errors like

2019-03-19T08:54:39+00:00 app[postgres.9192]: [DATABASE] [8-1]  sql_error_code = 00000 LOG:  PID 9135 in cancel request did not match any process
2019-03-19T08:54:40+00:00 app[postgres.9105]: [DATABASE] [9-1]  sql_error_code = 08P01 LOG:  SSL error: tlsv1 alert internal error

Seems to be the bug which is decribed here

Looks like OTP 21.3.1 was released but I can’t find release notes aside from the ones saying the ssl app was changed. I might be blind though

Judging from the commit log though, this was fixed? Has somebody tried their luck with 21.3.1?

You need to look at either the erlang-questions or erlang-announce mailing list. Or you can just check here: OTP Versions Tree.

And I have just avoided days of frustration thanks to @nietaki.
