Unable to install SWA CLI on Alpine Linux

[justinyoo]

Describe the bug

I'm using a Docker container image, mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cli:2.33.1, which is based on Alpine Linux.

I installed nvm and the latest node v16.x successfully. But I wasn't able to install this SWA CLI. It threw an error:

~ # npm install -g @azure/static-web-apps-cli
npm notice
npm notice New minor version of npm available! 8.5.5 -> 8.10.0
npm notice Changelog: https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v8.10.0

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a container image like docker run -it mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cli:2.33.1
2. Run the following commands:

# Update and upgrade
apk update && apk upgrade \
    && apk add -U curl bash ca-certificates openssl ncurses coreutils python2 make gcc g++ libgcc linux-headers grep util-linux binutils findutils \
    && apk add -U bash icu-libs krb5-libs libgcc libintl libssl1.1 libstdc++ zlib \
    && apk add -U libgdiplus --repository https://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/ \
    && apk add -U libc6-compat gcompat

# Install nvm
cd ~
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

# Install node.js
nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts

# Install SWA CLI
npm install -g @azure/static-web-apps-cli

3. See the error above

Expected behavior

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

If I ran the yarn command like:

corepack enable
yarn global add @azure/static-web-apps-cli

It was fine, but I still have the same issue after that, by running npm install or npm run build, etc...

Hey @justinyoo can you share the logs from npm install -g @azure/static-web-apps-cli --verbose please? It looks like an issue with Keytar, but I am not sure.

FYI, I opened an issue at atom/node-keytar#461

Sure. I also suspect the keytar side... Here's the log:

@justinyoo To fix the npm install of the asw CLI, I had to add the following packages: apk add --no-cache python3 py3-pip libsecret-dev alpine-sdk, then the npm install passed.

@Nexyll I installed what I had installed above + what you suggested, but still have the same error.

This time, I use the container image of mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cli:2.37.0 (version updated from 2.33.1 to 2.37.0).

Hi, any updates on this issue or suggested workarounds?

[reddyeshwar17]

hello team, I am also similar issue ..how to resolve it?

As of right now, I cannot reproduce,

/workspaces/alpine-tests # npm install -g @azure/static-web-apps-cli
npm warn deprecated inflight@1.0.6: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.

This is with image node:20-alpine3.19 - my Dev container looks like this:

{
    "name": "Alpine Dev",
    "image": "node:20-alpine3.19",
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/common-utils:2": {}   
    }
}

This is with @azure/static-web-apps-cli:1.1.10 (latest version at time of writing)

I did try to build with mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cli:2.37.0, but that does not contain all the requirements for running node. (specifically, it does not contain the glibcxx libraries) and is based on an older (non-supported) version of Alpine Linux (3.15 - whereas the earliest Alpine Linux supported by Node is 3.19)

I'm not an expert on containerization, but my suggestion is to start with the requirements of your application (node, in this case) and go from there.
