[BUG] Won’t start if npmjs is not reachable

[mark-kubacki]

Issue Summary

Using the container image, Formbricks App won’t start when npmjs is not reachable.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Follow the tutorial for use with docker-compose: https://formbricks.com/docs/self-hosting/docker
2. … but stop short of bringing the pod up.
3. Disconnect from the internet. (For example, because you work offline, in an segmented local network, an ad-hoc network with people in the room, or behind a restrictive corporate firewall.)
4. docker compose up

Expected behavior

The container images should come with everything needed, i.e. no outside dependencies yet to be loaded.

• No container gets restarted.
• The formbricks setup works.

Other information

No response

Environment

@mark-kubacki thanks for opening the ticket :-) We already solved this in the current main branch in this will get included in the next release :-)
I'm not sure if this was already part of the last release; are you on Formbricks 1.6.1?

[mark-kubacki]

I’m at whatever is the latest according the docker-compose config I’ve downloaded today. :-)
Unfortunately it pulls ghcr.io/formbricks/formbricks:latest and that’s not annotated.

Let me regenerate the container image real quick, assuming that’s how you’d do it:

git clone --single-branch \
  --recurse-submodules \
  --filter=blob:none --also-filter-submodules \
  "https://github.com/formbricks/formbricks.git" fb-repo
cd $_

docker build \
  -t "ghcr.io/formbricks/formbricks:latest" \
  -f apps/web/Dockerfile \
  .

---

Update: Nope, no luck:

@mark-kubacki You need an internet connection to build the image. But for starting the container you don't need an internet connection anymore 😊
The latest tag will be updated as soon as we make the next release. Unfortunately since we are currently facing some issues with the @formbricks/js integration that we need to sort out first, I can't give you a release date for this.

Please point me to your scripts that build the container image, for my attempts and above command, now that the site is reachable, remain unsuccessful:

Separately I’d propose introducing annotations.
https://specs.opencontainers.org/image-spec/annotations/?v=v1.0.1
v1.6.1 is annotated, I’ve just learned. I let the Dockerfile mislead me.

I’ve rebuilt the image from 31e5959 ($(git rev-list -1 --before "2024-04-15 11:29" main) when writing above comment) and found that it still relies on external services on start.
