[abarghou1993]

How did you install OpenDroneMap? (Docker, natively, ...)?

[Docker]

What's your browser and operating system? (Copy/paste the output of https://www.whatismybrowser.com/)

[Ubuntu 18.04 ]

What is the problem?

Step 1/30 : FROM phusion/baseimage
manifest for phusion/baseimage:latest not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown

What should be the expected behavior? If this is a feature request, please describe in detail the changes you think should be made to the code, citing files and lines where changes should be made, if possible.

[the phusion/baseimage with latest tag cannot be pulled any longer]

How can we reproduce this? (What steps did you do to trigger the problem? What parameters are you using for processing? If possible please include a copy of your dataset uploaded on Google Drive or Dropbox. Be detailed)

[docker pull phusion/baseimage]

It seems to be an error with the phusion docker repo.

I tried building phusion with the latest tag explicitly (phusion/baseimage:master-amd64) and got the following error:

*edit: My setup runs Ubuntu 18.04 on a Dell XPS 9350

*edit 2: error when trying to build with tag 18.04-1.0.0:

Mm, that seems to be the case. We should probably switch Dockerfile and portable.Dockerfile to use ubuntu:16.04 instead.

Would you be interested in opening a pull request?

[tiagodc]

Investigating the issue a bit further I saw that the latest tag is not really the "latest" release. The latest phusion/baseimage release does not use ubuntu 16.04 for more than a year already. On top of that, the http://ppa.launchpad.net/george-edison55/cmake-3.x/ is deprecated since ubuntu 18.04. The packages that depend on that ppa are:

E: Unable to locate package libjasper-dev
E: Package 'python-software-properties' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'swig2.0' has no installation candidate

There are a couple possible fixes here: (1) use an older phusion/baseimage reference (e.g. v0.10.2) that runs ubuntu 16.04, or (2) update the Dockerfile with the new lib sources to run under ubuntu 18.04.

I can open a pull request, sure. Which fix would you recommend?

• (1) is a quick fix
• (2) will update the image to a more "state of the art" technology but might have some side effects or dependency issues that will need further validation and testing after building

Oh, interesting... I wonder why we haven't been receiving more reports about building issues (I'm fairly certain some things would not work properly on newer Ubuntu versions, but maybe they do).

We have medium term plans to migrate the ODM codebase to Python 3 as well as upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04.

For the time being, I found the original phusion image we've been using (from 2 years ago) and pushed it to opendronemap/phusion-baseimage. We can probably just change it to that for now, since we'll switch to a newer image in the medium term.

[tiagodc]

Alright. I'm building it right now using phusion/baseimage:0.10.2 and it is going smoothly so far. Should I still open the pull request?

[pierotofy]

To err on the safe side I would use opendronemap/phusion-baseimage, but yes feel free to open a PR!
