Libtorrent 2.0.9 Alpine 3.17 Python 3.10

[jee-r]

Hi Christian,

i'm using your fantastic image as base for my deluge image, but I'm locked to this version
6627dc5

The upgrade to alpine3.18 and therefore python 3.11 is not supported by Deluge at this time.

Do you think it is possible to create a specific build in the workflow for an emmercm/libtorrent:2.0.9-alpine3.17 image ?

Thank you

Note: As a workaround i added a libtorrent building stage https://github.com/jee-r/docker-deluge/blob/58c96019e7f784a6ea3d3ab581951d284f2a0945/Dockerfile#L24

Out of curiosity, what kind of output does Python 3.11 produce? Curious if it's https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/3600.

Candidly, I'm hesitant to maintain a special 2.0 branch. But maybe there's a better tagging strategy here where images would automatically get tagged as #.#.#-python#.#.

The temporary builder stage should totally work! But if you're interested in avoiding maintenance, you could pin the image to a digest. I don't think container registries offer good tooling to discover all digests for a tag, but I know from this automatic qBittorrent PR that the image digest you want is emmercm/libtorrent:2.0@sha256:bdacdb71b63ea641e449963fbb35da9e2102de082a752cc5abe32869f35e64cf.

$ docker run -it emmercm/libtorrent:2.0@sha256:bdacdb71b63ea641e449963fbb35da9e2102de082a752cc5abe32869f35e64cf python3 --version
Python 3.10.10

Shameless plug, but most of the time you want to pin your base images for this reason: https://emmer.dev/blog/keep-docker-base-images-updated-with-renovate/#pinning-docker-image-digests

Yes it seems related to this issue i got this error on build time thanks for pointing it out i missed it.

I will investigate more deeply why deluge's build failed

Yes pining could do the job thank you for sharing the tip 🙏

Hi Christian
we can close this issue i fixed the build based on your image by installing deluge dependencies from alpine packages instead with pip.

I need help cleaning up the dependencies to reduce the image size if anyone has the knowledge.
