Docker + Base.runtests("Sockets")

New to Julia

How can I run Julia “Sockets” test inside docker environments?

I tried & finished with errors :frowning:

  • docker run -it --rm julia:1.0.3 julia -e 'Base.runtests("Sockets")'
  • docker run --privileged -it --rm julia:1.0.3 julia -e 'Base.runtests("Sockets")'
  • docker run --net=host -it --rm julia:1.0.3 julia -e 'Base.runtests("Sockets")'

My environment:

Added later:

:julia: SOLUTION: You need to enable IPv6 support in the Docker daemon AND --fixed-cidr-v6 must be provided.

Can you show the errors you’re getting? It’s probably just a bad assumption in Sockets’ tests, or a misconfiguration of your docker networking setup.

Ok, this helps. What it looks like is that your container does not have an IPv6 loopback address configured (::1 specifically). Hence, you get an EADDRNOTAVAIL error since the tests try to send to this address, which is almost always available outside of a container, including within VMs (hence why tests pass on CI). Try getting this to run within your container:

ip -6 addr

When I run this on my baremetal host, I get the following:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Thank you! You are right ! :sunny:

What I have learned:

  • The Docker IPv6 support - is not enabled with the default install
    • To enable I did : Enable IPv6 support | Docker Docs
      • "Before you can use IPv6 in Docker containers or swarm services, you need to enable IPv6 support in the Docker daemon. "
      • “Note: IPv6 networking is only supported on Docker daemons running on Linux hosts.”
        • “Edit /etc/docker/daemon.json and set the ipv6 key to true”
        • “Reload the Docker configuration file. : systemctl reload docker”
      • –fixed-cidr-v6 must be provided! ( search for " docker ipv6 fixed-cidr-v6" via Google )
  • Now running the : docker run -it --rm julia:1.0.3 ip -6 addr is still no output.
  • But the Base.runtest("Sockets") is OK
