Can't get to work on Alpine Linux due to relocation error

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to install aerospike-client-nodejs on Alpine Linux, using C library built from source, but it fails due to a mysterious relocation error. Please help me figure this one out!

The below Dockerfile reproduces the error (given a package.json file in the current directory):

FROM node:10-alpine
MAINTAINER Me

WORKDIR /app

ENV PREFIX=/opt/aerospike-client-c

RUN apk add --no-cache python2 make gcc g++ git libtool autoconf automake linux-headers \
openssl-dev zlib-dev libuv-dev

RUN git clone https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-c.git && cd aerospike-client-c && \
git submodule update --init && \
make EVENT_LIB=libuv && \
mv target/* /opt/aerospike-client-c

COPY package.json .

RUN npm install aerospike
RUN node -e "require('aerospike')"

You should see an error like

/app/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:88
        throw e
        ^

This issue is fixed in v3.7.2. I was able to build an Alpine Linux docker image using this slightly modified Dockerfile:

FROM node:10-alpine
MAINTAINER Me

WORKDIR /app

RUN apk add --no-cache python2 make gcc g++ git libtool autoconf automake linux-headers \
openssl-dev zlib-dev libuv-dev

RUN git clone https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-c.git && \
  cd aerospike-client-c && \
  git checkout --detach 4.3.20 && \
  git submodule update --init && \
  make EVENT_LIB=libuv

ENV PREFIX=/app/aerospike-client-c/target/Linux-x86_64

RUN npm install aerospike@3.7.2
RUN node -e "require('aerospike')"

Note the extra step git checkout --detach 4.3.20 in the C client build instructions. This is to ensure the right version of the C client is used for the given Node.js client version.

@aknuds1, thanks for the PR!

The good news is that I have talked to our C client developer, and he will fix the issues with the C client on Alpine Linux, incl. the pthread_attr_setaffinity_np function dependency. (Apparently, there is a different way to set CPU affinity on Alpine Linux.)

The bad news is that we’ll probably see a new C client release only next week. Once that’s done, I can update the Node.js client to include the fixed C client version.
