Scenario

I'm testing the simple server node application at https://github.com/balena-io-projects/simple-server-node on a Siemens SIMATIC IOT2040 (IOT2000 series) provisioned on balena.io.

I've been following the getting started guide at https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/getting-started/iot2000/nodejs/#adding-your-first-device.

I managed to provision the device successfully.

Problem(s) and some quick fixes

When I build (and deploy) the simple server node container on Balena I observe the following error:

$ git push balena master
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)

The build fails because tag 10-stretch-run does not exist for image balenalib/iot2000-node.

Furthermore, when I swap from 10-stretch-run to an existing tag such as 6.17.1-buster-build-20190503, the build process fails with the following errors:

$ git push balena master --force

I can workaround this error by running a plain npm install.

Following this configuration, the image builds on Balena Cloud, and is deployed to the Siemens SIMATIC IOT2040 device:

 * [new branch]      master -> master

However, the service keeps failing on the device, so that the simple server node Web page is never available at the public URL:

$ curl https://[OMIT].balena-devices.com/
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta charset="utf8">
<!-- [...] -->
<p><code>tunneling socket could not be established: socket hang up</code></p>
<p>One possible reason is because nothing is listening on port 80 on the device.</p><p><a class="btn btn-block btn-info" href="">RETRY</a></p></div><div class="footer"><p>Device Public URLs is a <a href="https://balena.io"><strong>balena.io</strong></a>
feature that provides individual URLs for balena.io-connected devices.
The feature is opt-in: no devices are exposed without the application owner's permission.</p>
<p><strong>balena.io</strong> does not serve anything on this URL, we just
proxy all the requests to whatever is listening on the device. This means
that the creator of the application is responsible for running a web-server

When I attempt to securely log in to the service from Balena Cloud, the operation fails because the service is not running:

I have not investigated this specific problem further.

Proposed solution(s)

The straightforward solution is to align the base images for all architectures.

However, being new to Balena, I'm not sure why there is no Node v. 10 base image for Siemens SIMATIC IOT2000.

Alternatively, different branches in the git repo could be created for different architectures, so that each can be config w/ relevant base image tag.

I don't have a proposed solution for the failing service.

Next actions

Once we get a first round of discussion on these problems (missing base image, failing npm command, and service unavailable), we can split them accordingly into three separate issues.

I'll be glad to discuss this further, and help implement an agreed-upon fix.
