Libluajit-5.1.so.2: undefined symbol: EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init

[ploynomail]

Describe the bug I am using nginx-lua as the basic image and making an OIDC proxy based on lua-resty-openidc, but there is a problem, which may be caused by the lua-resty-session dependency package. I don't know if it's my fault or what, so I'm here to ask you for help.

To Reproduce Build a Docker image from this dockerfile:

FROM fabiocicerchia/nginx-lua:1.22.0-debian-compat


RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
	build-essential \
	libpcre3 \
	libpcre3-dev \
	zlib1g \
	zlib1g-dev

# install prerequisites for lua-resty-openidc
RUN luarocks install lua-cjson
RUN luarocks install lua-resty-http
RUN luarocks install lua-resty-jwt
RUN luarocks install lua-resty-session
RUN luarocks install lua-resty-string

# install lua-resty-openidc
RUN luarocks install lua-resty-openidc

WORKDIR /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/resty

WORKDIR /

# COPY conf/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

when visiting url following error occurs：

I replaced many different versions of nginx-lua and they had the same error, so I assume it's not the nginx version or something similar that caused the problem. I'm not an expert in lua and I hope I can get your help.

@ploynomail thank you for reporting the problem, could you please try with the newer versions of nginx (i.e. 1.25)?

I tried with the following and should work without errors:

FROM fabiocicerchia/nginx-lua:1.25.3-debian


RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
	build-essential \
	libpcre3 \
	libpcre3-dev \
	zlib1g \
	zlib1g-dev

# install prerequisites for lua-resty-openidc
RUN luarocks install lua-cjson
RUN luarocks install lua-resty-http
RUN luarocks install lua-resty-jwt
RUN luarocks install lua-resty-session
RUN luarocks install lua-resty-string

# install lua-resty-openidc
RUN luarocks install lua-resty-openidc

WORKDIR /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/resty

WORKDIR /

# COPY conf/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
