Can not rename/delete files while building image on CoreOS

[Sergey Esin]

Hi all,

I am getting very strange issue with:

# cat /etc/os-release

NAME=CoreOS

ID=coreos

VERSION=766.3.0

VERSION_ID=766.3.0

BUILD_ID=

PRETTY_NAME="CoreOS 766.3.0"

ANSI_COLOR="1;32"

HOME_URL="https://coreos.com/"

BUG_REPORT_URL="https://github.com/coreos/bugs/issues"

Here's my very simple Dockerfile (installing Java and timezone update):

# cat Dockerfile

FROM centos:6

RUN yum install -y unzip wget

# Getting Java SE 7 Archive Downloads from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html

ENV oracle_jdk_download_dir '/java64'

ENV oracle_jdk_package_subdir '7u51-b13'

ENV oracle_jdk_unpacked_dirname 'jdk1.7.0_51'

RUN mkdir ${oracle_jdk_download_dir} > /dev/null 2>&1 || cd ${oracle_jdk_download_dir};  wget -N -P ${oracle_jdk_download_dir} --no-check-certificate --no-cookies --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/${oracle_jdk_package_subdir}/${oracle_jdk_package} > /dev/null 2>&1

RUN cd ${oracle_jdk_download_dir}; tar -xzf ${oracle_jdk_package}; rm -f current; ln -s ${oracle_jdk_unpacked_dirname} current; chown -R root:root ${oracle_jdk_download_dir} && chmod -R a+rwX ${oracle_jdk_download_dir}

ENV TZUPDATER_VERSION_UNDERSCORES 2_0_3

ENV TZUPDATER_VERSION_DOTS 2.0.3

ENV TZUPDATER_POSTFIX 2015b

ENV JAVA_HOME ${oracle_jdk_download_dir}/current

RUN cd /tmp; wget -q --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/tzupdater/${TZUPDATER_VERSION_DOTS}/tzupdater-${TZUPDATER_VERSION_UNDERSCORES}-${TZUPDATER_POSTFIX}.zip && \

    unzip tzupdater-${TZUPDATER_VERSION_UNDERSCORES}-${TZUPDATER_POSTFIX}.zip && mv tzupdater-${TZUPDATER_VERSION_DOTS}-${TZUPDATER_POSTFIX}/tzupdater.jar /

RUN cd ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/bin/; ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -jar /tzupdater.jar -u -v && rm -rf /tzupdater-${TZUPDATER_VERSION_UNDERSCORES}-${TZUPDATER_POSTFIX}.zip tzupdater-${TZUPDATER_VERSION_UNDERSCORES}-${TZUPDATER_POSTFIX} /tzupdater.jar || /bin/true

RUN false

The problem is that I can successfully build this Dockefile on any other machine with Centos6 (like host OS), but can not build the same Dockerfile on CoreOS, it fails with following:

Step 14 : RUN cd ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/bin/; ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -jar /tzupdater.jar -u -v && rm -rf /tzupdater-${TZUPDATER_VERSION_UNDERSCORES}-${TZUPDATER_POSTFIX}.zip tzupdater-${TZUPDATER_VERSION_UNDERSCORES}-${TZUPDATER_POSTFIX} /tzupdater.jar || /bin/true

If I run base images like docker run --rm -it centos:6 bash and then start putting lines from the Dockerfile above one by one - it all goes fine.

Could you please point me into right direction?

Quick update:

oracle_jdk_download_dir  is /usr1/java64 like in the failty "Step 14" (sorry for copy-paste from the wrong console)

This might an odd interaction between Docker and OverlayFS. You can try
using btrfs to see if it's successful. The instructions can be found in
our docs [1].
