How do I install the Raku Cro web framework using a dockerfile

if you rootle around in the error messages, the first failure says:

25.00 Cannot locate native library 'libssl.so': libssl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
25.00 at /app/site#sources/EECBFFAFE1EB0CDBF5E9BEFF953D441C3690042E (Cro::TLS):9

to fix that add in libssl-dev somewhere up above, like this:

RUN apt update && \
  5     apt upgrade -y && \
  6     apt install zip -y && \
  7     apt install build-essential -y && \
  8     apt install -y libssl-dev && \
  9     rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

I have not tried to get your webapp running since I do not know what it is so my build fails at the zef install . point - if you still have trouble, I suspect that https://github.com/JuneKelly/perl6-config-clever may be somewhat stale as it was last updated 9 years ago and was not moved to the zef repo

Many thanks for all the comments and answers, they did help! I got it working. I did have to go through the dependencies and make sure they worked, hence the monstrosity below. This Dockerfile is based on trial and error and also parts of various Dockerfiles I found online, including the official (but old) Cro docker images.

I think there are a few issues behind the problems:

• Name space problems in Raku with the Digest lib. I had to poke around and find the updated lib that fixed this.
• Some unspecified issue with zef that seems to cause it to fail intermittently when running in an Ubuntu docker image. I could not get zef to run all the installs as one command, I had to do it in single RUN commands to get it to work. Puzzling. It makes the resulting docker image very big so I will probably pull these commands into a bash script and run that.
• Some libs do not want to install from the default repo (raku.land?) so I had to pull these directly from GitHub.

It needs more work, but it does start the webapp. I have more issues, but not docker :)
