hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Setup]: Docker build fails on QNAP NAS: s6-overlay "Cannot change mode" Bad address

What's Going Wrong?

Environment Device: QNAP NAS OS: QTS (Linux kernel with QNAP's ext4/f2fs driver) Docker: Docker via Container Station Architecture: amd64 Problem Starting from the version that introduced s6-overlay, Docker build fails with Bad address errors when tar extracts s6-overlay archives:

tar: ./package/admin/s6-overlay: Cannot change mode to rwxrwxrwx: Bad address tar: ./command/printcontenv: Cannot change mode to rwxrwxrwx: Bad address tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors This happens with both tar -Jxpf (preserve permissions) and tar -Jxf (without -p). The QNAP kernel's filesystem driver does not support the chmod operations that s6-overlay's tar archive requires during extraction.

Workaround The previous version (v0.14.0) used tini as the process manager, which builds and runs perfectly on QNAP NAS.

Request Please consider providing a Dockerfile variant (e.g., Dockerfile.tini) that uses tini instead of s6-overlay, or add a build arg to skip s6-overlay installation. QNAP NAS devices are commonly used as self-hosted servers and would benefit from continued compatibility.

Related This is similar to the chmod -R a+rX issue on QNAP (also "Bad address"), which was previously worked around by using targeted chmod +x on specific files instead of recursive chmod.

Steps Taken

1. has download the hermes agent zip package
2. unzip and then using docker build
3. cannot install due to above mentioned problem
