Docker container fails to build when installing GRPC

Question

I have a Dockerfile that when used with my docker-compose commands works fine, I'd like to have this docker container built however as GRPC takes 15 mins to install every time I want to run tests in GitHub Actions

This is what my Dockerfile currently looks like:

FROM xxx-base:6

RUN pecl install grpc \
    && docker-php-ext-enable grpc \

WORKDIR /application

And I get the following error output:

#5 580.4 g++: fatal error: Killed signal terminated program cc1plus
#5 580.4 compilation terminated.
#5 580.4 make: *** [Makefile:248: src/core/ext/filters/client_channel/lb_policy/xds/cds.lo] Error 1
#5 580.5 ERROR: `make' failed
------
executor failed running [/bin/sh -c sudo pecl install grpc     && docker-php-ext-enable grpc WORKDIR /application]: exit code: 1

It's worth mentioning in the base container used here I used pecl to install imagik so I know that command at least partially works. This is a base PHP 7.4 container.

Any suggestions, I've seen some other posts referring to the memory limit on the docker build, but I'm not sure what to change

Why you so dearly truncate the stacktrace to make it completely worthless?? — Martin Zeitler, Sep 10 '21 at 15:22
The full stack trace would be 90k chars, limit is 30k, This should help: https://pastebin.com/g7iZ2uRn — Lewis Smith, Sep 10 '21 at 15:25
Not the whole log file, but starting at `command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1` ...then comes the relevant part. With only the last few lines, this is rather guessing than knowing something. — Martin Zeitler, Sep 10 '21 at 15:30
@LewisSmith please add that to the question for new comers to see more easily — Noam Yizraeli, Sep 10 '21 at 15:31

Installing GRPC in a pipeline takes a long time. I recommend using the cache of the provider used (bitbucket, github etc ..) or using a base image which is used as the starting point of the Dockerfile

FROM baseimage:latest

I have implemented an image based on alpine and php 7.4 with extension grpc installed, check it on github gits click here

This is actually along the lines of the approach we took in the end, compiling our own base image with only GRPC, so I'll give you the green tick because you have nailed the solution Welcome to SO – Lewis Smith Oct 20 '21 at 15:54
@LewisSmith thanks a lot! – Fabrizio Cafolla Oct 20 '21 at 16:04

In case gcc –version says anything less than 4.9 ...this might be the cause.

This answer also seems to be related to your scenario... in case PECL fails.

Trying `pecl -d php_suffix=7.4 install grpc` – Lewis Smith Sep 10 '21 at 15:39
No Good `#5 6.401 2077 source files, building #5 6.405 running: phpize7.4 #5 6.407 sh: 1: phpize7.4: not found #5 6.410 ERROR: `phpize' failed` – Lewis Smith Sep 10 '21 at 15:41
This needs to be installed. I can only speak for Linux, where the package is called `php7.4-dev` or `php7.4-devel` or just `php-devel`. Missing that package might eventually add to the problem (which might eventually even stem from `xxx-base:6` already). When GCC version is less than 4.9, this is only suitable for building elder versions (eg. I can build GPRC on CentOS8, but not on CentOS 7, with GCC 4.8.5). – Martin Zeitler Sep 10 '21 at 15:42
I'm not great with Linux, `apt-get install php7.4-devel` throws an error saying it can't find that package, what should the command be. Or is that something I need to go and investigate – Lewis Smith Sep 10 '21 at 15:47
On Debian it's `-dev` ...`-devel` is RHEL slang. And are you sure that "configured with" is from inside the container? This seems to be OSX and not exactly Linux. – Martin Zeitler Sep 10 '21 at 15:47
The container this is built from depends on `FROM php:7.4-fpm` not sure if that helps – Lewis Smith Sep 10 '21 at 15:50
There is one pesky detail about the container itself, or better said, the PHP which ships with it: "If using PHP 7.4+, PHP must have been installed with the `--with-pear` flag." ...if this shouldn't be the case, you'll have to build PHP, to begin with. – Martin Zeitler Sep 10 '21 at 16:06
Okay I'll try 7.3 for a test – Lewis Smith Sep 10 '21 at 16:07
Different errors, hahaha, okay more investigation required – Lewis Smith Sep 10 '21 at 16:19
