I have been building sysimages with PackageCompiler in docker without issue until recently. I recently add some functions that require Sockets networking. To exercise the function in the PackageCompiler.jl tracing script I have a simple server/client setup via
errormonitor(@async begin
server = listen(IPv4(0), 2002)
sock = accept(server)
while isopen(sock)
...
end
end)
client = connect(IPv4(0), 2002)
This runs without issue on my host machine (OSX). It also runs without issue when executed inside the container in interactive mode (ubuntu:18.04). However, it fails when run in a Dockerfile as part of docker build producing

The closest discussion I’ve seen is Docker + Base.runtests("Sockets"). But I am explicitly using IPv4(0) and it works without issue in a build docker container, so I don’t think its related.
In summary, this networking script work fine in a docker container but fails if run as part of a docker build
