Dokku-based Dockerfile build fails on .git/objects directory concerns

[drauschenbach]

Although a local Docker build of v0.4.4 works, a remote Dokku-based buildstep-based build fails with:

Step 14 : RUN apk add --update musl-dev gcc go git bash wget ca-certificates 	&& mkdir -p $IPFS_PATH 	&& adduser -D -h $IPFS_PATH -u 1000 ipfs 	&& chown ipfs:ipfs $IPFS_PATH && chmod 755 $IPFS_PATH 	&& go get -u github.com/whyrusleeping/gx 	&& go get -u github.com/whyrusleeping/gx-go 	&& ([ -z "$GX_IPFS" ] || echo $GX_IPFS > $IPFS_PATH/api) 	&& cd $SRC_PATH&& gx --verbose install --global 	&& mkdir .git/objects && commit=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) 	&& echo "ldflags=-X github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/repo/config.CurrentCommit=$commit" 	&& cd $SRC_PATH/cmd/ipfs 	&& go build -ldflags "-X github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/repo/config.CurrentCommit=$commit" 	&& cp ipfs /usr/local/bin/ipfs 	&& cp $SRC_PATH/bin/container_daemon /usr/local/bin/start_ipfs 	&& chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/start_ipfs 	&& apk del --purge musl-dev gcc go git && rm -rf $GOPATH && rm -vf $IPFS_PATH/api

@Kubuxu did you fix this recently? I remember merging a dockerfile PR that touched .git/objects

[Kubuxu]

This is something different, I added the same mkdir to dockerfile used by Jenkins. I have no idea why it fails in dokku.

[ghost]

It probably just needs to be mkdir -p instead of mkdir

[Kubuxu]

But this would mean that there is no .git directory over there.

I could not reproduce it and we changed our Dockerfiles few times.
