Unable to deploy with dokku due to GLIBC version not found

Posted on October 8, 2021

From following the example, on step 4, deploy tag I get the following error:

=====> api web container output:
       internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1144
         return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename));

The image I’m using is Ubuntu Dokku 0.21.4.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Heya,

The argon2 module requires GLIBC version 2.25 or higher, but your Ubuntu Dokku 0.21.4 image is using an older version. To resolve this issue, you can try the following:

Update to Ubuntu Dokku 0.22 or higher. Newer images include updated versions of system libraries, including GLIBC.
Install the necessary build dependencies before installing Node.js modules. This includes tools like build-essential and libtool. Add the following lines to your Dockerfile:

RUN apt-get update && \ apt-get install -y build-essential libtool

Use a different Node.js package for password hashing, or update the version of argon2 to one that is compatible with the GLIBC version in your Ubuntu Dokku image.
Use a different base image that includes a newer version of GLIBC. For example, you could try an image based on a more recent version of Ubuntu or another distribution that meets the GLIBC version requirement.

Remember to rebuild your Docker image after making any changes.

I hope this is helpful!
