When I build Go Image with CircleCI, I get runtime/cgo: pthread_create failed: Operation not permitted

Question

I was building and pushing Docker Image to ECR with CircleCi, and it was working fine until June, but since July, I started getting the following error.

+ docker buildx build -f ././docker/deploy/go/Dockerfile -t ************.dkr.ecr.**************.amazonaws.com/test/dev-apps:207859b16c2d2xxxxxf1bc380e6af51da6 --platform linux/amd64 --progress plain --push .

error: failed to solve: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = executor failed running [/bin/sh -c go mod download]: exit code: 2

Exited with code exit status 1

Looking at the contents, I see that go mod download is generating runtime/cgo: pthread_create failed: Operation not permitted errors.

We have not made any changes to the code from when the deployment was successful in June.

Please let me know if there are any other logs needed. We will provide them.

Answer 1

I checked the Go image github and the architecture commit came in mid-June, so this is most likely the problem. github.com/docker-library/golang/commits/… I changed the Dockerfile image to golang:1.19.1 and confirmed that it works fine. Thank you very much.
