Error on backup

[peptoniet]

On versions later than 2.1.1-3 running the backup job gives me this error in the log:

ERROR: can't read '/opt/calcardbackup/calcardbackup'. Check given path!

Running the backup command on the docker image console gives me the same error.

Version 2.1.1-3 works correctly.
3.0.0-1 fails.

ERROR: can't read '/opt/calcardbackup/calcardbackup'. Check given path!

Running the backup command on the docker image console gives me the same error.

when running /opt/calcardbackup/calcardbackup inside of the container:

When running /opt/calcardbackup/calcardbackup /nextcloud/ --output /backup/ -i which is the default:

So I can't reproduce the reported issue.

Hello,
Thank you for checking.
I tried the same exact command and I get this error:

bash-5.1# /opt/calcardbackup/calcardbackup /nextcloud --output /backup/ -i

The relevant part of the docker-compose.yaml is:

Hi @peptoniet,

is this still relevant?

[peptoniet]

Good morning,
Thank you for the follow up.
I just tested with latest version. Unfortunately, I get the same result:

bash-5.1# /opt/calcardbackup/calcardbackup /nextcloud --output /backup/ -i

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+  Fri Sep 17 09:44:25 CEST 2021 --> START calcardbackup ver. 3.0.0 (01.07.2021), AGPL-3.0
-- calcardbackup: ERROR --
-- ERROR: can't read '/opt/calcardbackup/calcardbackup'. Check given path!
-- I need to be able to read the full path!
-- calcardbackup: Exiting.

-- calcardbackup: ERROR --
-- Error in command: "script_dir="$(get_absolute_path_ng "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")""
-- calcardbackup: Exiting.

docker-compose file is unchanged from my last post.

If I go back to version 2.1.1 of the docker image, all works well.

bash-5.1# /opt/calcardbackup/calcardbackup /nextcloud --output /backup/ -i

maybe it is related to alpinelinux/docker-alpine#156 and https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/08/26/its-time-to-upgrade-docker-engine/

I had the same problems and I updated Docker from version 18.09.1 to 20.10.12 and the problem was solved on my Raspi

Yes, it could have been the docker version. I cannot know for sure.
I locked container image version to 2.1.1-3 for two years and it has worked flawlessly.
Today, I revisited this issue, and make sure I was on the latest version for docker. Unlocked container version for calcardbackup to "latest" and tested. All worked perfect!
Thanks to @waja for such an excellent work!
