[BUG] Error: failed to register layer: open /defaults/ini/siteini.pack/International/sat.tv.channels.13�E-Arabesque.xml: invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character

[MrIncUK]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

Note: There was an issue for this but has been closed already through lack of feedback (#73)

Unraid docker fails to install citing the above error.
"Error: failed to register layer: open /defaults/ini/siteini.pack/International/sat.tv.channels.13?E. Arabesque.xml: invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character"

Expected Behavior

Should install with no issues.

Steps To Reproduce

Installing docker for the first time on Unraid 7.2.0

Environment

- OS: Unraid 7.2.0
- Community Apps - webgrabplus via GUI
ZFS cache with exclusive shares
Change MAC to something other than zeroes.
Added a TZ variable set to Europe/London

I am using a ZFS cache setup with exclusive shares on Unraid.  Datasets are in use for \appdata and each individual 'child' install , i.e. \webgrabplus .
ZFS is set to UTF8ONLY=On and I manaully created the webgrabplus to also have normalization set to formD.  Note, I had originally installed with a dataset with normalization = none, but the chnage did not alter the resulting error.

CPU architecture

Thanks for opening your first issue here! Be sure to follow the relevant issue templates, or risk having this issue marked as invalid.

Apparently this

chvb/docker-webgrabplus:latest

does not have the irritant file with the degree symbol in the folder name. The above repo installed no problems (other than a change to the MAC).

I mean you do you but that image was last pushed Jul 2, 2017

The issue you're seeing is like a filesystem limitation on expressing the characters in question. We just grab the site pack from https://www.webgrabplus.com/sites/default/files/download/ini/SiteIniPack_current.zip and don't perform any other sanitisation on it.

[MrIncUK]

Is there any sort of manual workaround to get this to install so as to ignore the problematic characters? At the moment I am unable to install a latest version! Thanks.

For what it's worth, the container deploys absolutely fine on a none ZFS filesystem, so it's perhaps that which is breaking it.

[MrIncUK]

Interesting. Not sure whether a ZFS fix is something which the Unraid devs are likely to want to look at! Might look at installing direct to the XFS array and then remove the offending bits and move in onto the zfs_cache for normal day to day and snapshotting.

[MrIncUK]

Looks like an edge case for Unraid when using ZFS on exclusive shares where the docker images sit.
