Pipeline failing without error message

[Sander de Kroon]

Our pipeline keeps on failing without giving a reason why.

It certainly has something to do with our custom Docker image, but I cannot figure out what exactly. Whenever I try another public image, the pipeline runs just fine. But if I use our own, it fails on the build step.

The Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/sudwestfryslan/default-pipeline

bitbucket-pipelines.yml

image:
name: sudwestfryslan/default-pipeline
username: $DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME
password: $DOCKER_HUB_PASSWORD
email: $DOCKER_HUB_EMAIL
pipelines:
default:
- step:
script:
- php --version
- npm --version

What I have tried:

• Changing to another public image -> Works! Unfortunately, that's not a solution as I want to use a custom image.
• Include the tag in the image name (e.g. :latest or :php74) -> makes no difference
• Include the complete URL to the docker registry -> makes no difference
• Include/exclude docker credentials -> makes no difference

Right now I'm kind of stuck, as I do not know what error is occurring.

Hi @Sander de Kroon

Thank you for your question!

Have you tried to move custom docker image usage to the step and add service: - docker parameter?

image:
  name: atlassian/default-image:3

pipelines:
  default:
  - step:
      image: sudwestfryslan/default-pipeline
      script:
        - php --version
        - npm --version
      service:
        - docker

Also, try to test your custom docker image locally with command and make sure that it works correctly: 

docker run -it sudwestfryslan/default-pipeline

Best regards,

I have tested the image locally and it works :). But it did turn out that my local machine was the 'problem' so to speak.

I'm on a mac with a M1 processor. This, by default, produces ARM images. And apparently these do not work on the Pipelines.

For anyone encountering the same issue, I've written a short blogpost about it here https://sanderdekroon.xyz/blog/bitbucket-pipelines-docker-and-the-apple-m1-chip/

I spent way to long debugging this problem, until I found this thread.
