How to work with meteor projects? #392

dtodt · 2016-02-17T22:02:06Z

Greetings.

I'm trying to develop over Meteor 1.3 which is on Beta, my default dev workspace is on windows 10, but that meteor beta is not accepting windows environments yet.

Che is my way through this wall. That probably can be done, but I'm not a expert on linux or even on docker, my custom environment is not working as expected.

I get the node stack dockerfile, and made some changes, here it is:

FROM codenvy/debian_jre
ENV NODE_VERSION=5.6.0 \
    NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules

RUN sudo apt-get update && \
    sudo apt-get -y install build-essential libssl-dev libkrb5-dev gcc make ruby-full rubygems && \
    sudo gem install sass compass && \
    sudo apt-get clean && \
    sudo apt-get -y autoremove && \
    sudo apt-get -y clean && \
    sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* && \
    set -ex \
    && for key in \
      9554F04D7259F04124DE6B476D5A82AC7E37093B \

      FD3A5288F042B6850C66B31F09FE44734EB7990E \
      71DCFD284A79C3B38668286BC97EC7A07EDE3FC1 \
      DD8F2338BAE7501E3DD5AC78C273792F7D83545D \
    ; do \
      gpg --keyserver ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys "$key"; \
    done && \
    cd /home/user && curl --insecure -SLO "https://nodejs.org/dist/v$NODE_VERSION/node-v$NODE_VERSION-linux-x64.tar.gz" \
    && curl --insecure -SLO "https://nodejs.org/dist/v$NODE_VERSION/SHASUMS256.txt.asc" \
    && gpg --verify SHASUMS256.txt.asc \
    && grep "node-v$NODE_VERSION-linux-x64.tar.gz\$" SHASUMS256.txt.asc | sha256sum -c - \
    && sudo tar -xzf "node-v$NODE_VERSION-linux-x64.tar.gz" -C /usr/local --strip-components=1 \
    && sudo rm "node-v$NODE_VERSION-linux-x64.tar.gz" SHASUMS256.txt.asc

EXPOSE 3000 5000 9000
RUN sudo npm install -g rimraf npm-check-updates cordova ionic
RUN curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

CMD tail -f /dev/null

After run that custom workspace, when I try to create a Meteor project, I receive a bunch of locale fail warnings.
Even after managed to install the locales dependency, I cant run the project, is something that I'm missing I guess.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

ghost · 2016-02-18T08:27:14Z

FROM codenvy/node
RUN sudo npm install -g rimraf npm-check-updates cordova ionic
RUN curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh &&
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install locales -y &&
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 &&
sudo localedef -i en_GB -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF

When in a workspace, open a terminal:

cd /projects meteor create simple-todo

Then click Refresh button on the project explorer panel, you will see your new project. Double click on it. Configure as Blank.

In the CMD command widget define a new command and its preview URL:

Command:
cd ${current.project.path} meteor

Preview URL: ${server.port.3000}

I followed meteor official guide.

We'll publish a detailed meteor tutorial in Che docs.

dtodt · 2016-02-18T10:56:29Z

Thanks for the help. 👍

But when I created this issue, my project did not start, breaking on mongo start, first with returnCode 1 then with returnCode 45.

I'll try again when I get home.

The image "codenvy/node" has a 0.12 node version, how do I update this to the 5.6 ?

ghost · 2016-02-18T11:27:46Z

Inherit from codenvy/ubuntu_jre and build any stack you want.

dtodt · 2016-02-19T16:29:56Z

I try your command:

ghost · 2016-02-19T18:56:37Z

RUN sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install locales -y &&
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 &&
sudo localedef -i en_GB -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF

This should be part of your Dockerfile.

dtodt · 2016-02-19T21:37:43Z

And so It is, I've copy-pasted what you input on the first comment.

On the log.txt @ line 76, has an error, that maybe is causing the locale problem.

ghost · 2016-02-20T05:24:39Z

Try installing locales after you have installed meteor. your version of a Dockerfile isn't the exact copy of what I have shared. Let's see if it helps.

Next week, we'll publish a codenvy/meteor image with a short how-to.

dtodt · 2016-02-21T16:31:34Z

Sry, was not the exact copy, I've changed the order of the commands, I didn't realize that the order could make some difference.

But today I've used your command, but seems that my image is different from yours.
Docker keep showing the 'debconf' error ..

[DOCKER] debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (Dialog frontend will not work on a dumb terminal, an emacs shell buffer, or without a controlling terminal.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline

Here's the log.txt.

I did some research, and some people use an environment variable after 'from' declaration.

# Get noninteractive frontend for Debian to avoid some problems:
#    debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive

But this does not worked for me.

I'll wait for the codenvy/meteor image, thanks.

ghost · 2016-02-21T19:21:13Z

Indeed, that one failed. I experimented right in the terminal. This one works though:

FROM codenvy/node
RUN sudo npm install -g rimraf npm-check-updates cordova ionic
RUN curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
RUN sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install locales -y &&
sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 &&
sudo localedef -i en_GB -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF
ENV LC_ALL=POSIX

dtodt · 2016-02-23T01:35:10Z

Hey, thanks for the 'codenvy/meteor' stack. 👍

But, even with this stack I can't run a meteor project, at least inside 'projects' folder.
I managed to create a project outside of 'projects' folder, on a '~/prj1' test folder, and the project works.

Not sure why, but some permissions cannot be applied on 'projects' folder.

On projects folder:

user@1e1734f8a0b5:/projects/mantra-sample-blog-app$ meteor
[[[[[ /projects/mantra-sample-blog-app ]]]]]

=> Started proxy.
Unexpected mongo exit code 45. Restarting.
Unexpected mongo exit code 45. Restarting.
Unexpected mongo exit code 45. Restarting.
Can't start Mongo server.
MongoDB cannot open or obtain a lock on a file

On home folder:

user@1e1734f8a0b5:~/prj1/apple$ meteor -p 5005
[[[[[ ~/prj1/apple ]]]]]

=> Started proxy.
=> Started MongoDB.
=> Started your app.

=> App running at: http://localhost:5005/

I've tryed chmod and chown, but nothing can make my projects work inside 'projects' folder.
Maybe I can use symlink so that che can see my project or something like that ..

ghost · 2016-02-23T06:37:40Z

Can you run ls -la in the root directory?

I tried it this way:

cd projects
meteor create newapp
cd newapp
meteor

No issues so far. What steps should I take to reproduce your issue?

At this time, seems to me that the 'staff' group could be the problem, but none of that commands worked:

sudo chown -R user:user projects/

sudo chgrp -R user projects/

ghost · 2016-02-23T12:48:37Z

Yes, staff group might be the problem. You may want to add this chown command to your CMD instruction.

dtodt · 2016-02-23T14:28:52Z

So, I put the chown and a bunch of other commands, but 'staff' group stays there ..

I think that's because 'projects' is a shared folder ..
Source: http://stackoverflow.com/a/28077088/1703546

Dockerfile:

FROM codenvy/meteor:ubuntu

RUN sudo mkdir /projects \
  && sudo chown -R user:user /projects \
  && sudo chgrp -R user /projects \
  && sudo chmod -R 777 /projects

RUN sudo npm install -g rimraf npm-check-updates

CMD tail -f /dev/null

ghost · 2016-02-23T14:34:55Z

Put them to CMD. This should fix it. When a container starts, projects folder is mounted with the permissions of your local folder where projects live.

dtodt · 2016-02-23T14:40:33Z

Uhmm .. after 'tail -f' ?

ghost · 2016-02-23T14:43:13Z

No, actually before since if you place it after, it will never come to that point )

CMD sudo chown -R user:user /projects && sudo chgrp -R user /projects && sudo chmod -R 777 /projects && tailf /dev/null

dtodt · 2016-02-23T15:07:41Z

Dumb question sry ..

So even doing this, the 'projects' folder stays with 'staff' definition, I've tried to put the user in staff group, but did not work neither.

Your folder is with another group ?
Maybe is something with sharing beteween windows and virtualbox.
I'm looking for something like that on google now ..

ghost · 2016-02-23T15:16:45Z

That works on linux... You may want to add chown to the first command you execute when in the IDE

dtodt · 2016-02-23T16:57:24Z

Sorry for the inconvenience, I could not make the project work properly.

But Meteor is now working again on Windows since 1.3-beta.11.
Then I'll continue my projects on windows, and I'll try Che again another time.

Thanks. 👍
