Hi,

I've got a problem with the Docker Installation Prerequisites on Windows.
https://documentation.spryker.com/docs/docker-installation-prerequisites-windows

The point "Install Unison" does not work completely for me.

Here are my questions:

1. I have no idea what unison and OCaml are used for. Can someone explain what it is needed for ?

2. I can't complete the Unison installation.
   The last command, named:

"shell make UISTYLE=text sudo cp src/unison /usr/local/bin/unison sudo cp src/unison-fsmonitor /usr/local/bin/unison-fsmonitor"

Does not work completely for me.

I tried only "sudo make UISTYLE=text" this worked.

But the part
"sudo cp src/unison /usr/local/bin/unison sudo cp src/unison-fsmonitor /usr/local/bin/unison-fsmonitor"

does not work

it says:

make: *** No rule to make target 'sudo'. Stop.

How to get this completed ?

These are dependencies for docker-sync.

Basically our guide just refers to original one from the author of docker-sync - https://docker-sync.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started/installation.html#windows.

Ok, this answers my first question. Thx. Do you also have an idea when it comes to my second question ?

Valerii Trots

I just checked and seems that there is formatting corrupted in this version of the documentation you are reffering to.
Here is the correct one - https://documentation.spryker.com/v3/docs/docker-install-prerequisites-windows-201907

But it doesn't mean that you will succeed in installing docker for windows correctly in the end. Personally I wasn't able to run docker as there are some errors due to marshaling something.

Valerii Trots

For me the only option is to use Vagrant in Windows at the moment.

So this means that spryker in docker running windows as os is not officially provided ?

Valerii Trots

This means that for some it works ok. But for some, as for me, for example, it doesn't work. Spryker has nothing to do with this unfortunately.

UV6R85WBE

Ok, thank you very much !

Valerii Trots

At the same time the team responsible for docker solution is working on the alternatives to docker-sync. So hopefully soon it will be working for all in Windows as well.

UV6R85WBE

Sounds well

Another question/problem:

https://documentation.spryker.com/v3/docs/docker-install-prerequisites-windows-201907

What went wrong if I get "cp: cannot stat 'src/unison': No such file or directory"

in the point "d. Compile and install Unison:"

?

Valerii Trots

Wrong path? You are not in the correct directory or something? IDK.

UV6R85WBE

I'm in

/home/adminlnx/ocaml-4.06.0/unison-2.51.2

if I see the point c. Change the directory:

cd unison-2.51.2

this should be the right one I guess

Valerii Trots

Then everything should work flawlessly. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If installation of proper version on host is the problem,
you can use custom docker-sync image with exact version you have on the host:

docker build --build-arg "OCAML_VERSION=4.06.0" --build-arg "UNISON_VERSION=2.51.2" -t custom-docker-image-unison .

and deploy.yml file

...
docker:
...
  mount:
    docker-sync:
    ...
      image: custom-docker-image-unison

However you would need to build image everytime after you prune docker images. Or you can just push it in dockerhub and use public tag.

@US04LPPLG Would you be able to put this in the instruction? Thanks forehand.
