Can't install in Docker about plotkicadsch HOT 6 CLOSED

Success! I have a working alpine image up on docker hub:

https://hub.docker.com/r/gingerbreadassassin/plotkicadsch

Here's the Dockerfile:

FROM ocaml/opam2:alpine
RUN cd /home/opam && \
    git clone https://github.com/jnavila/plotkicadsch.git && \
    cd plotkicadsch && \
    opam switch 4.07 && \
    eval $(opam env) &&\
    opam pin add kicadsch . -yn && \
    opam pin add plotkicadsch . -yn && \
    opam depext kicadsch && \
    opam depext plotkicadsch && \
    opam install --deps-only kicadsch && \
    opam install --deps-only plotkicadsch

RUN cd /home/opam/plotkicadsch && \
    sudo chown -R opam:nogroup . && \
    opam install --destdir=/home/opam/pksapp plotkicadsch && \
    opam depext -ln plotkicadsch | egrep -o "\-\s.*" | sed "s/- //" > depexts

FROM alpine
WORKDIR /opt/pksch
COPY --from=0 /home/opam/pksapp/bin/plotkicadsch plotkicadsch.exe
COPY --from=0 /home/opam/pksapp/bin/plotgitsch plotgitsch.exe

COPY --from=0 /home/opam/plotkicadsch/depexts depexts
RUN cat depexts | xargs apk --update add&& rm -rf /var/cache/apk/* && rm depexts

ENV PATH="/opt/pksch:${PATH}"

It may not be the most efficient or completely correct because I just don't know OCaml at all (as in, today was my very first exposure to it), but the resulting image is ~31MB and has both plotgitsch.exe and plotkicadsch.exe in the PATH, so it's easy to use in builds. Here's a .gitlab-ci.yml example from a school project:

image: gingerbreadassassin/plotkicadsch

stages:
  - build

build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - plotkicadsch.exe -f myproject.sch -l myproject-cache.lib
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - myproject.svg

This was sanitized as the project is private for the time being, but I do plan on expanding this so that diffs will be generated in non-master branches. If I have time this weekend I will make a dummy project and publish it.

If you'd like, I could make a PR to add docker support for this repo.

In any case, I'll close this issue. Thanks again for your help!

Building from this git repo fails as well. Here's the revised Dockerfile:

FROM ocaml/opam2

RUN sudo apt install m4 git -y

# Have to use >4.06
RUN opam switch 4.07

RUN eval `opam config env`

RUN git clone https://github.com/jnavila/plotkicadsch.git 
RUN cd plotkicadsch
RUN opam pin add kicadsch . 
RUN opam pin add plotkicadsch . 
RUN opam update 
RUN opam install plotkicadsch

This now fails with:

[ERROR] The compilation of kicadsch failed at "/home/opam/.opam/4.07/bin/dune subst".

#=== ERROR while compiling kicadsch.0.5.1 =====================================#

Yes, I just launched a new build on travis and it failed with the same error. Welcome to yet another dependency hell...

I'll try to push a fix shortly.

OK, cool. I found a problem in my previous Dockerfile. I got this one to fail with the git-unix error:

FROM ocaml/opam2:ubuntu-16.04-opam
RUN sudo apt install m4 -y
RUN cd /home/opam
RUN git clone https://github.com/jnavila/plotkicadsch.git && \
    cd plotkicadsch && \
    opam init -c 4.07.0 --disable-sandboxing -a && \
    eval $(opam env) &&\
    opam pin add kicadsch . -n && \
    opam pin add plotkicadsch . -n && \
    opam update  && \
    opam install -y plotkicadsch

Please try again building your Docker image.

It built! But plotkicadsch is only available from within the container if I run opam switch 4.07.0, so I have to fix that bit. I'll test the image to see if it works.
