Problem
Docker image compiles successfully, however fails when ran from Lambda because of its read only file system.
Summary
Luminati-proxy has a docker integration for their proxy manager. I copied over their docker file and appended it to my own docker file for pushing out a script to AWS Lambda. The building of the docker image was successful, but when pushed off to Lambda, it failed because of a read only file system error:
Failed to create directory /home/sbx_user1051/proxy_manager: [code=EROFS] Error: EROFS: read-only file system, mkdir '/home/sbx_user1051'
2022-02-28 19:37:22.049 FILE (8): Failed to create directory /home/sbx_user1051/proxy_manager: [code=EROFS] Error: EROFS: read-only file system, mkdir '/home/sbx_user1051'
Analysis
Upon examining the trackback, the error is focused on the proxy_manager installation and fails with directory changes (mkdir, mk_work_dir …). These changes are made within the .js files of the GitHub which is pulled from the docker file as the proxy_manager installation. Obviously the only mutable directory on Lambda is the /tmp directory, but is there a workaround for getting this set up without resorting to putting everything under the /tmp directory as it wipes itself upon runtime? Reinstalling a proxy_manager each run is not at all ideal…
Answer?
Could this be as simple as setting environment stipulations such as:
ENV PATH=...
ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH=...
If so, I how should they be configured? I am adding the docker file below for quick reference:
FROM node:14.18.1
RUN wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
&& sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'
&& apt-get update
&& apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable fonts-ipafont-gothic fonts-wqy-zenhei fonts-thai-tlwg fonts-kacst fonts-freefont-ttf
--no-install-recommends
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
USER root
RUN npm config set user root
RUN npm install -g [email protected]
RUN npm install -g @luminati-io/luminati-proxy
ENV DOCKER 1
CMD ["luminati", "--help"]
I appreciate the insight!
