using alpine for pipelines fails

sustbmat

We have used alpine as the base image for our lightweight pipelines checks for few months without a problem.

However 2 days back all the pipelines jobs started failing with following error: "rpc error: code = Unknown desc = no supported platform found in manifest list"
There's a link to documentation and link to pipelines config validation.

This has happened in multiple separate repositories. There were no changes to the bitbucket-pipelines.yml for weeks.

Configuration is valid. Here's one example:

image: alpine

pipelines:
 default:
   - step:
     name: YAML lintian
     script:
      - apk -q --no-progress --no-cache add py2-pip
      - pip -q install yamllint
      - yamllint -c .yamllint templates/

This is updated based on the comment information.

Alpine docker image available at Docker Hub was missing the manifest and it wasn't possible to use it.

Issue at Alpine Github

This can be prevented by version pinning in your bitbucket-pipelines configuration file by specifying concrete version of docker image that is known to run.

Kudos to @Jeroen De Raedt for clearing this up!

Everything seems to work now - assuming a temporary problem.

It's interesting that at the time the BB status page was reporting all green.
