I have some script on a dockerfile that is aimed at installing the asdf's plugin ruby plugin on a Github codespace's custome container (using devcontainer.json, docker-compose, a dockerfile...).
Dockerfile:
RUN git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git $HOME/.asdf && \
echo '. $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh' >> $HOME/.bashrc && \
echo '. $HOME/.asdf/completions/asdf.bash' >> $HOME/.bashrc && \
echo '. $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh' >> $HOME/.profile
This first part works correctly. I'm sure because if I run just this RUN clock above, I can build my github codespace without any error and I'm also sure asdf did install because I check it via terminal of command
$ sudo su
$ asdf list
This outputs a message from asdf, showing it did install:
no plusins installed
But the second part below, where i try to install asdf's ruby plugin, gets an error:
RUN $HOME/.bashrc && \
# install asdf ruby plugin
asdf plugin add ruby https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-ruby.git && \
# add ruby version
asdf install ruby $RUBY_VERSION && \
# set our machine e.g our container's global Ruby version
asdf global ruby $RUBY_VERSION
The error I get is:
/bin/sh: 1: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
For a larger context on the error output, the terminal of command output shows:
#6 [ 3/11] RUN git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git $HOME/.asdf && echo '. $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh' >> $HOME/.bashrc && echo '. $HOME/.asdf/completions/asdf.bash' >> $HOME/.bashrc && echo '. $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh' >> $HOME/.profile

I tried different things for the first line of this RUN block, but I always run into some sorts of error:
If I do RUN sudo $HOME/.bashrc
, I got the error
sudo: /root/.bashrc: command not found
If I do RUN sudo su $HOME/.bashrc
, I got the error:
su: user /root/.bashrc does not exist or the user entry does not contain all the required fields
If i do RUN su vscode $HOME/.bashrc
, I got the error:
bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
I'm very very early beginner on docker so I could not find how to bypass this and install ruby plugin
The second RUN should be like this:
RUN bash -c "source $HOME/.bashrc && asdf plugin add ruby https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-ruby.git && asdf install ruby RUBY_VERSION && asdf global ruby $RUBY_VERSION"
Yeah, it's ugly, but honestly I do not know if it's safe to break up to lines.
The key is you have to source your .bashrc to apply it to all remaining commands.
