Is the neon_local binary in any of the official Docker images?

I’m running a self-hosted Neon setup using Docker and would like to use the neon_local tool.

Hi,

Unfortunately no, not yet at least. It is trivial to create one by adding

COPY --from=build --chown=neon:neon /home/nonroot/target/release/neon_local               /usr/local/bin

to existing Dockerfile (and adding --bin neon_local to cargo build command) though.

Unfortunately I’m unable to build the image myself due to this error

Get "http://369495373322.dkr.ecr.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/v2/": net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

Fair enough. It can be workaround by first building ‘rust’ locally:

# at  https://github.com/neondatabase/build/
docker build rust/ -t neondatabase/rust:local

and then in main repo

docker build . --build-arg REPOSITORY=neondatabase --build-arg TAG=local -t neondatabase/neon:local

but I’ll try to add rust image to docker hub soon as well.

It looks like the image is already in docker hub
https://hub.docker.com/r/neondatabase/rust
I was able to build just by add --build-arg REPOSITORY=neondatabase

Can you please add neon_local to the official image?

@mingfang @ars I run into the same issue trying to find a neon_local binary.
Btw, also tried to build it locally - no luck on M1 Macbook.

Could you share a final Dockerfile to make it work please?

Hey. I just opened PR to add neon_local to the image:

It the meanwhile you can checkout this PR and build there image manually with

docker build . --build-arg REPOSITORY=neondatabase -t neondatabase/neon:local

as mentioned above.

Thank you!
I’ve tried locally with a command: docker build . --build-arg REPOSITORY=neondatabase -t neondatabase/neon:local

But it fails with (might be related to M1 Macbook, not sure):

[pg-build 8/8] RUN set -e && mold -run make -j $(nproc) -s neon-pg-ext && rm -rf pg_install/build && tar -C pg_install -czf /home/nonroot/postgres_install.tar.gz .:

It looks like you didn’t fetch Postgres submodules; these commands should help:

git submodule init
git submodule update
