[bug] Error: server requires version to be set: could not parse provided string into semantic version

[sommerper]

I've created a docker-compose.yml file that should build portal and and run it.

I've cloned the repo to ./repo/portal relative to the docker-compose.yml.

The docker-compose.yml looks like this:

services:
    my_instance:
        build:
            context: ./repo/portal
            dockerfile: Dockerfile

I had to up the golang and alpine images in the Dockerfile like or it wouldn't build at all.

# Multi-stage build.
FROM golang:1.22-alpine3.20 as build-stage

# Copy source code and build binary.
ARG version
RUN mkdir /usr/app
COPY . /usr/app
WORKDIR /usr/app
RUN CGO=0 go build -ldflags="-s -X main.version=${version}" -o portal ./cmd/portal/

# Copy binary from build container and build image.
FROM alpine:3.14
RUN mkdir /usr/app
WORKDIR /usr/app
COPY --from=build-stage /usr/app/portal .

ENTRYPOINT [ "./portal", "serve"]

and this is the output

❯ docker-compose up
[+] Running 1/0

Platform / Portal version (please complete the following information):

• OS and OS version: Raspbian (Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye))
• Portal Version is the latest as of today

That's it. I hope it's not me who is making a mistake. I just wanted to test this fine software.

I may have some insight into this. I use RPi5 with Ubuntu 24.04, I also have Box64 installed on my RPi5 so that I can run programs that are not ARM compatible.

I tried to install with nix profile, had the same error.
I tried to build through PORTAL_VERSION=v1.x.x make build command and had the same error again.

Then I tried the bash script to install portal again and tried portal serve and Box64 take on trying to run the server as it can be seen but to no avail...

The recommended install.sh method at this repos main Readme file detects the architecture as as linux_amd64 instead of arm-v8 or aarch64.

Then I uninstalled box64 to get a better overview. I downloaded the portal_1.2.3_Linux_arm64.deb release and installed it with apt/nala. I tried it again and the server works now, finally.
