Docker install of PAS 12.1 fails with segmentation fault

Posted by Ruben Dröge on 03-Feb-2020 12:23

Is JAVA in your PATH? Or missing serials? (I do assume you already checked these by the way :))

Posted by Ruben Dröge on 03-Feb-2020 12:26

Shouldn't you know the answer [:O]?

Posted by Ravi Sankar on 03-Feb-2020 12:28

For 12.1 there is already an official docker PASOE image. You can make use of the deploy scripts to perform sidecar deployment from here

Optionally, take a look at the Dockerfile to extend from PASOE base image, if you want to do so.

Hi Ravi, I'm aware of the existence of the official Docker image. However, since the Dockerfile for that image is not shared, I rather create an image myself (and put that on github.com/.../docker4oe).

In the mean the I'm still curious if anyone can tell me why I get a segmentation fault.

Can you post your DockerFile here? TIP: avoid posting licensing info if there is any in the file.

Hi Bronco,

Could you please share with us the response.ini and the install log file.

Kind Regards,

Santosh JAMMI.

FROM should be Centos:7.3 or later.

Since you also need JDK, you need to use multi stage build. https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build/

An example of it is there in extending PASOE documentation at https://docs.progress.com/bundle/pas-for-openedge-docker/page/Deploy-using-the-standalone-Docker-image.html

FROM <JDK Docker image name>:<JDK Docker image tag> as builder-jdk

FROM store/progresssoftware/pasoe:12.1.0

USER pscadmin

COPY --chown=pscadmin:pscadmin <Path of the license file> /psc/dlc/progress.cfg

COPY --from=builder-jdk --chown=pscadmin:pscadmin <Java location inside the JDK Docker image> /usr/java

...

Thank you Ravi. I still feel that the install (proinst) shouldn't fail as it currently does:

Step 7/20 : RUN /install/openedge/proinst -b /install/openedge/response.ini -l /install/install_oe.log

---> Running in 6dfe2cc424af

/install/openedge/proinst: line 102: 24 Segmentation fault $mountdir/_ovrly $mountdir $option1 $option2 $option3 $option4 $option5

Cleaning up temporary files...

The command '/bin/sh -c /install/openedge/proinst -b /install/openedge/response.ini -l /install/install_oe.log' returned a non-zero code: 139

This after creating a Centos/OpenJDK image first and build from there on....

Posted by Ravi Sankar on 11-Feb-2020 07:05

Is your issue resolved or are you still facing the Segmentation fault? If the issue still exists, could you share the install_oe.log ?

Posted by bronco on 11-Feb-2020 08:08

See earlier mentioned Dockerfile, I commented the RUN /..../proinst and everything beneath. I build and start the image and run proinst from a bash shell from the command line.

CLI:

[root@7f21a2425825 /]# /install/openedge/proinst -b /install/openedge/response.ini -l /install/install_oe.log
/install/openedge/proinst: line 102: 33 Segmentation fault $mountdir/_ovrly $mountdir $option1 $option2 $option3 $option4 $option5
Cleaning up temporary files...

Hi Bronco,

At the mentioned place, where the error is thrown:

$mountdir/_ovrly $mountdir $option1 $option2 $option3 $option4 $option5

The mountdir is the directory where you have launched the installer from. It executes the _ovrly file that temporarily gets copied to the PWD which is the main file to launch the installer.

I would request you to set ulimit -c unlimited so when a segmentation fault occurs, a core is dumped. You can send us the core file so that we can see the problem.

Kind Regards,

Santosh JAMMI.

Hello Santosh,

Here's the link to the core dump: 1drv.ms/.../s!AusuzFLH7JWPh9QLYijZx10FX7JDNQ

Posted by bronco on 25-Feb-2020 14:39

Did the core dump bring any lightto this?.

Posted by svmss on 02-Mar-2020 07:12

The crash is happening when it tries to output the install progress. I will be investigating this further.
