Question

Has anyone gotten pants to work on Alpine Linux yet If not is it possible

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

That s a good question You d have to build Pants on Alpine including its native code which requires the rust toolchain as we don t publish wheels for it Alpine is not manylinux compatible And pip would have to be able to build all Pants s transitive deps at install time

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

It can probably be made to work

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

but from what I ve read it s generally not recommended to run Python on Alpine as there are all sorts of corner cases where the interpreter itself behaves weirdly

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

Is this for CI

quaint-forest-8735 · Answer

+1 to not running Python on Alpine usually build times will be very long as all requirements w native dependencies will need to be built from scratch

flat-queen-95161 · Answer

yes for ci docker package

flat-queen-95161 · Answer

error cannot produce cdylib for `engine v0 0 1 pants src rust engine ` as the target `x86 64 unknown linux musl` does not support these crate types

flat-queen-95161 · Answer

this is where is bombs out on the alpine build

Thanks I will abandon alpine for build ci and get the ci running on a debian based dind somehow

The latest pip setuptools auditwheel toolchain now supports detection of musl compatible wheels An example of the release process update in gevent The pitfall in Alpine Linux is that it is not practical to build amp use statically built Python because the static version of musl libc does not support dynamic loading at all blocking import of all C extension modules in Python Otherwise if we use dynamic versions it should be fine with wheels distributed with musllinux platform tags or source builds of them

rhythmic-morning-87313 · Answer

Still there are not many packages that support musllinux distribution so it takes much longer time to bootstrap a virtualenv

rhythmic-morning-87313 · Answer

I ve not tried pants in Alpine yet but I believe that technically it should be possible though we should go through a long trial and error process with external dependencies

thanks I will check it out
