Cannot "docker run" using producer

I use this Dockerfile in order to build my NodeJS microservice :

FROM node:7-alpine

COPY package.json /src/package.json
RUN apk update \
    && apk add cyrus-sasl-dev ca-certificates make gcc g++ python bash \
    && cd /src \
    && npm install
COPY . /src
CMD node /src/index.js

But when I docker run my built image, I got an error in my NodeJS process :

{ Error: Local: Erroneous state
    at Function.createLibrdkafkaError [as create] (/src/node_modules/node-rdkafka/lib/error.js:254:10)
    at fail (/src/node_modules/node-rdkafka/lib/client.js:183:44)
    at /src/node_modules/node-rdkafka/lib/client.js:192:7
  message: 'Local: Erroneous state',
  code: -172,
  errno: -172,
  origin: 'kafka' }

To reproduce this issue, just use the code of the simple producer : https://github.com/Blizzard/node-rdkafka/blob/master/examples/producer.md

Can someone help me on this issue ? Thanks !

@delmotte I was having similar issues. I got the “erroneous state” error off the bat after adding all libraries that I thought I needed(and it built successfully). When I did get the error, I accessed the service and ran a test file that connected to the same kafka instance which produced this error:

This happened when running an app INSIDE the service. Running it on my host machine just showed “erroneous state”.

I somehow ended up with this config:

RUN apk add --upgrade --no-cache \
  yarn --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/ --allow-untrusted \
  libc6-compat \
  bash \
  make \
  gcc \
  g++ \
  python \
  cyrus-sasl-dev \
  lz4-dev \
  libc-dev \
  dumb-init --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/ --allow-untrusted 

And got the same error(LZ4F…) to now show up via docker up logs. I wish I could be of more help, I went through dozens of package combinations etc, and somehow this guy at least output the error.

I then stumbled into an comment that stated I can use the native librdkafka package for my distro and I thought that it might do the trick:

FROM node:6.9.2-alpine

RUN apk add --upgrade --no-cache \
  yarn --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/ --allow-untrusted \
  libc6-compat \
  bash \
  make \
  gcc \
  g++ \
  python \
  cyrus-sasl-dev \
  libressl2.5-libcrypto --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/ --allow-untrusted \
  libressl2.5-libssl --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/ --allow-untrusted \
  librdkafka-dev --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/ --allow-untrusted \
  dumb-init --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/ --allow-untrusted 

# ENV PATH /root/.yarn/bin:$PATH

RUN mkdir /home/app

WORKDIR /home/app
ENV BUILD_LIBRDKAFKA=0
# rest of stuff

And this worked! I managed to establish connection to my kafka client. Haven’t tried producing/consuming anything so this might be a small wortheless victory but I hope this helps.

@FuzzOli87, any idea Why it works, though?

Why do you need these? yarn --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/ --allow-untrusted libc6-compat dumb-init --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/ --allow-untrusted

Why do you reference these in this way? (edge, specific packages from libressl) libressl2.5-libcrypto --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/ --allow-untrusted libressl2.5-libssl --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/ --allow-untrusted librdkafka-dev --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/ --allow-untrusted
