CentOS7: Couchbase server expects /etc/init.d/functions to be there about official-images HOT 10 CLOSED

This file is provided by the initscripts package, which isn't included by default in the centos-7 image. It is however in the centos6 image.

In el6, it's brought in as a dependency for iproute and iputils, where in el7, systemd (or in our case fakesystemd) meet this need.

Long story short, in your Dockerfile for centos7, you should add initscripts to the list of packages you install.

I spoke to Nick_ZWG on IRC, and he mentioned he ran into the exact same problem and downgraded to CentOS6 to work around it.

This worked:

$ sudo docker run -ti centos:centos6 /bin/bash
$ yum install -y wget pkgconfig openssl tar hostname
$ rpm --install http://packages.couchbase.com/releases/3.0.1/couchbase-server-community-3.0.1-centos6.x86_64.rpm

Maybe @jperrin would know what is wrong with centos7, if anything? Perhaps make an issue on the repo or file a ticket?

@yosifkit what made me think something was wrong with the centos7 image was the fact that if you install it from the CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-DVD.iso, it contained the /etc/init.d/functions file.

@jperrin awesome, thank you. I'm closing the ticket since that will solve my problem on centos7.

Note: centos6.7 has this same issue of missing /etc/init.d/functions, and running yum install -y wget pkgconfig openssl tar hostname did not work around it.

This still isn't a problem, and still requires that you install the initscripts package. The centos base containers are designed to be small and thus cannot have all possible packages included.

@jperrin thanks, I will make sure to install initscripts w/ centos6.7.

yum install initscripts solved the issue,
