Fails to rebuild baseimage-gui:ubuntu-16.0.4 about docker-baseimage-gui

[jlesage]

The way to build the baseimage against a new distro is to add a file to the versions directory.
But first, you need to build jlesage/baseimage. For example, you could add versions/ubuntu-14.04 with the following content:

DOCKERFILE=Dockerfile.debian
BASEIMAGE=i386/ubuntu:trusty
S6_OVERLAY_ARCH=amd64

Then build the baseimage:

./build ubuntu-14.04

Once done, you can build jlesage/baseimage-gui using a similar approach. The version file in this case would have:

DOCKERFILE=Dockerfile.debian
BASEIMAGE=jlesage/baseimage:ubuntu-14.04

That's exactly what I did using, creating 'versions/ubuntu-14.04 with:
DOCKERFILE=Dockerfile.debian
BASEIMAGE=i386/ubuntu:14.04
S6_OVERLAY_ARCH=ams64=

and got all the problems listed above. that is why I went to rebuild your ubuntu-16.04 and got all the same difficulties. My server is headless

There is a typo in your S6_OVERLAY_ARCH variable. Building jlesage/baseimage with the instruction I provided works fine for me.
Can you provide the full build output you have?

[bourgeoa]

Yes there is a typo here but not in versions
I join the full build of your ubuntu-16.04 no change what so ever
baseimage ubuntu-16.04.txt
I added the docker version output
Could the version be a problem. Is there a site where to build free images ?

[jlesage]

I have the exact same Docker version as you. So I'm not sure why it doesn't work on Synology. Are you building the image as root (using sudo)? Or maybe you could try to build on another machine?

[jlesage]

I think I found the problem: the ubuntu baseimage was 32bit instead of 64bit. Probably that 32bit execution is not supported on your Synology device, which would explain the errors you see.

This is now fixed in the latest version of the baseimage.
