Trying to set this up on a pi

[tired9494]

I'm new to self hosting and linux so I'm not even sure if this is possible. I have docker set up but I can't get clipface to work.

When I try to run a container I get The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested.
I looked up the error and tried adding --platform linux/amd64/v8 after docker run but now the container instantly quits without an error when I try running one.

Someone on r/selfhosted tried to help but we could only get so far. You can view the errors I got in this thread

You can run Clipface on a Raspberry Pi, but you can't use the official Docker image, since it's built for amd64. You will have to build one yourself.

Fortunately this is simple. You need to have Node installed, as well as the Yarn package manager (npm install -g yarn).

Clone the Clipface repo, cd into the project folder then run bash build-docker-image.sh. After this is done, you should have the clipface:latest image locally, built for your architecture.

Let me know if you have any issues.

I have python installed and can run it so I'm not sure what's causing the python error

[tired9494]

So I added RUN apk add --update --no-cache python3 && ln -sf python3 /usr/bin/python before the RUN yarn --prod line in Dockerfile and now python works I think but I get the following errors:

Someone replied with:

Your error is happening in docker build. That (and docker in general) doesn't use any envvars you have set in your shell; it only uses envvars set in Dockerfile or the (source) image. And docker only runs software installed or mounted in the container not in the host -- and at least node:lts-alpine (which I use) does in fact not have python, which seems like a mistake since as you've found yarn uses it

Doesn't this mean there's a problem with the Dockerfile?

That person is assuming that the client build happens in the Docker image build process, which is incorrect. The Clipface client is built on the host before the Docker image build starts. Your error happens during the client build, so Docker isn't involved in any way, this is purely a Node/Python issue, and perhaps node-gyp.

[Hubro]

Found out that my find-python.js in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-gyp/lib looks like this: https://pastebin.com/GzA5TnkP

I don't know if it should be like that, it looks like it's supposed to run on Windows? I've also asked for help on serverfault and superuser but just sent this here in case it helps

It's supposed to run on all platforms, including Windows. node-gyp is a tool for building native Node addons for Linux, macOS and Windows.

[tired9494]

Alright well I only got 2 comments on superuser and serverfault so I think I'm just going to abandon this until I have more time again. Thank you for your time and help

[Hubro]

@tired9494 Alright, understandable. It's really unfortunate that the Clipface Docker images don't work on most Raspberry Pi's by default, since quite a lot of users probably want to run it there. If I can figure out a way to cross build Clipface for various ARM architectures I will attempt to do so.
