hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature]: Build the docker image HERMES-AGENT takes a long time (very long time) [1 comments, 1 participants]

TL;DR

Update the Dockerfile to use a more efficient chmod command that skips unnecessary directories, such as node_modules, to improve build performance.

Guidance

• Replace the existing RUN chmod -R a+rX /opt/hermes command with the proposed solution: RUN find /opt/hermes -path '*/node_modules' -prune -o -exec chmod a+rX {} + to skip node_modules and improve build speed.
• Alternatively, limit the chmod command to only the directories that require it, such as /opt/hermes/web, /opt/hermes/ui-tui, etc.
• Verify the build performance improvement by measuring the build time before and after the change.
• Test the updated Dockerfile to ensure that the application still functions as expected.

Example

# Updated Dockerfile command
RUN find /opt/hermes -path '*/node_modules' -prune -o -exec chmod a+rX {} +

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the node_modules directory does not require the chmod command. If this is not the case, the alternative solution that limits the chmod command to specific directories may be more suitable.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by updating the Dockerfile with the proposed solution, as it is a simple and effective way to improve build performance without introducing significant changes.
