unstable installation with wine in Docker

RamiAlbasha · Post by **RamiAlbasha** » Fri Jun 13, 2025 8:56 am

I’m trying to build a docker image from ubuntu and to run a windows application into this image. I use for this aim wintricks to install .NET framework 4.8 and wine to launch an offline installer. The build is successful on local machine (OS windows 11 Pro) and takes about 10 minutes. However, it timesout when run on remote with GitHub CI (I set the timeout to 60 minutes, otherwise it may take hours without success). Here’s the Dockerfile used :

Code: Select all

ARG BUILDPLATFORM=linux/amd64
FROM --platform=$BUILDPLATFORM ubuntu:latest

# enable 32-bit architecture
RUN dpkg --add-architecture i386

# add WineHQ repository
## install dependancies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y \
  ca-certificates \
  wget \
  && apt-get purge -y --auto-remove -o APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant=false \
  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

## Add Wine GPG key
RUN mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings
RUN wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

## add the Wine repository
RUN wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/noble/winehq-noble.sources


# install WineHQ, winetricks and .NET 4.8
RUN apt update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
  winehq-stable \
  winetricks \
  && apt-get purge -y --auto-remove -o APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant=false \
  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
  && winetricks -q dotnet48 --force \
  && apt-get -y purge winetricks \
  && apt-get -y autoremove

# copy the offline installer folder
COPY offline_installer/ /offline_installer
RUN apt update \
  && wine /offline_installer/setup.exe /quiet

and a snapshot of the (repeated) error messages:

Any idea where this may come from?
