Summary

  • Published images (Dockerfile.cross) now use Ubuntu 24.04 so they match the glibc of the current cross-rs :main builder (2.39). This is the same runtime baseline as upstream reth.
  • Align the local multi-stage Dockerfile (pin cargo-chef to rust 1.95/trixie, runtime Ubuntu 24.04) so compose builds do not hit the same class of mismatch.
  • Add a CI smoke step that docker run --rm … --versions an amd64 image before pushing, which would have caught Docker images v1.1.0 and latest fail to start: GLIBC_2.38 / GLIBC_2.39 not found #151.

Fixes #151

Test plan

  • docker run --rm --platform linux/arm64 ghcr.io/morph-l2/morph-reth:v1.1.0 --version reproduces GLIBC_2.38/2.39 not found
  • Same v1.1.0 arm64 binary fails on ubuntu:22.04, succeeds on ubuntu:24.04
  • Pack that binary with the updated Dockerfile.cross and docker run --rm morph-reth:issue-151 --version prints Morph-Reth Version: 1.1.0 on Ubuntu 24.04.4
  • Tag/workflow Docker job smoke test passes on the next image build

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Maintenance

    • Updated container images and build environments to newer Ubuntu and Rust base versions.
    • Improved cross-platform container compatibility, including x86_64 and ARM64 builds.
    • Added compatibility documentation for supported build environments.
  • Validation

    • Added an automated startup smoke test to verify generated container images run successfully before publishing.

The cross-rs :main builder moved from Ubuntu 20.04 to 24.04, so release
binaries now require GLIBC 2.38/2.39. Dockerfile.cross still used 22.04
(glibc 2.35), which made v1.1.0 and latest fail at startup.

Fixes #151

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Docker build and runtime images now align with Ubuntu 24.04 and glibc 2.39. The Docker workflow adds an amd64 --version smoke test before GHCR authentication and multi-architecture publishing.

Changes

Docker runtime compatibility and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Align builder and runtime images
Dockerfile, Dockerfile.cross, Cross.toml
The builder uses Rust 1.95 Debian Trixie. Runtime images use Ubuntu 24.04. Cross.toml documents the GCC and compiler-probe settings.
Validate image startup before publishing
.github/workflows/docker.yml
The workflow runs on Ubuntu 24.04, builds and loads an amd64 image, runs --version, and then publishes the multi-architecture image.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 60be9

Published and local images may fail to start if the builder produces binaries requiring a newer glibc than Ubuntu 24.04 provides. Merge should wait for a compatible builder/runtime pairing and successful image startup validation.

lukemathwalker/cargo-chef latest-rust-1.95-trixie Dockerfile glibc version Debian Trixie Ubuntu 24.04 glibc 2.39

💡 Result:

The lukemathwalker/cargo-chef:latest-rust-1.95-trixie Docker image is built on top of the Debian Trixie distribution [1][2]. Debian 13 (Trixie) includes the GNU C Library (glibc) version 2.41 [3][4][5]. For comparison, Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) ships with glibc version 2.39 [6][7][8]. Therefore, the glibc version in the specified cargo-chef image (2.41) is newer than the glibc version found in Ubuntu 24.04 (2.39). Applications compiled against glibc 2.41 in the Trixie-based image may not be compatible with execution environments relying on older versions like 2.39 due to glibc's general lack of backward compatibility for binaries linked against newer versions.

Align the builder and runtime libc baselines.

The Trixie builder can produce binaries that require GLIBC 2.41 symbols, but Ubuntu 24.04 provides GLIBC 2.39. Use an Ubuntu 24.04-compatible builder or a Trixie-based runtime. Validate image startup before merging.
