Managed to get the Docker image build now. Had to define one environment variable, then everything just clicked. However, running the stuff inside that container does not work yet, as that environment variable seems to be have an incorrect value. 🤔

@matigo Yeah… I will be starting my 12th year in the IT business when the year changes, and things have not become easier.
@matigo I am building up a container that we could re-use in our tests, just to have a standardized setup every single time. Once that is done, then we would just mount the repository as its application files and run the tests, which is really, really straightforward thing to get done.
Now I managed to reach the point where the CI machine fails. Now I just need to resolve that issue, then the whole setup is more or less ready.
@matigo Does not seem to be helping. I have pruned the cache, restarted the daemon, and still I have this issue. Well, maybe I can work on the CI machine to get the container build go forward.
@matigo When I run it on the CI machine, it has no such issues (it has other issues, as the Dockerfile is not complete yet). I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I am trying to build an x86_64 Linux image on an M1 Mac.
@matigo One of the steps in the Dockerfile (RUN command) that installs (read: downloads) stuff does not proceed anywhere. I can wait for minutes for the potential network issues to get resolved, but it just stays ”stuck”.
While Docker is a nice tool, it seems to have its quirks that make my life miseable. I don’t know if it is an issue with the M1 Macs, but I seem to get ”stuck” to one of the steps when building a new image. That annoys the heck out of me.
@variablepulserate And when the story in the book is great, that price is even better. A bargain, one might say.
Also, found all parts of the Millenium trilogy [en.wikipedia.org] as well as the first part of its continuation trilogy from the second-hand shop1 we visited for 0,50€ each. And yes, they all are in their original language, Swedish, so I have a chance to refresh my Swedish skills while I read them.
Before I will start reading these I think I should finish the book series, A Game of Thrones, that I am currently reading (in English, no less). I am currently reading book number 2, so it will take a while before I have read the series…
It is called Kierrätyskeskus, which literally translates to ”recycling center”. They have furniture, clothes, books, sporting equipment, TVs, etc. that people have donated. They check that they are in good condition, possibly fix them if needed, and then they sell them at a relatively low price.
