Is it possible to temporarily cache this line RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y in Dockerfile?
Reason is when troubleshooting Dockerfile, I rebuild the image several times and this line has the longest wait time.
Yes, it possible.
Create docker image from your docker file. Separate file to 2 Dockerfile's, first with FROM and RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y, second with other instructions
cd /dir/with/Dockerfile
docker image build -t my-fast-docker .
After build use image in second Dockerfile
FROM my-fast-docker:latest

I am trying to create a docker image from my docker file which has the following content:
FROM ubuntu:latest
WORKDIR /app
ADD . /app
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install python -y
CMD python /app/main.py
LABEL color=red
which fails with the following error:
apt-get update && apt-get install python -y returned a non-zero code: 100
So please help me in solving this error
Docker is just Linux. When some apt-get install acme fails, you just need to try the exact command and or research the missing dependencies.
To replicate your error I ran: docker run -it ubuntu:latest and inside, I ran your apt-get update && apt-get install python -y. I got the error:
So, I tried with apt-get install python3 -y and it worked. Finally your Dockerfile should be:
FROM ubuntu:latest
WORKDIR /app
ADD . /app
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install python3 -y
CMD python3 /app/main.py
LABEL color=red
Older Python
If your code needs old python version, you should not use FROM ubuntu:latest because in the lastest version of ubuntu, only python3 is allowed.
Anyway if you need python2, you must research a lot on internet to get the exact steps to install python2 or use some ready to use docker images:

how do i setup only python 2.7 in docker container?

I am trying to install tesseract-ocr to docker from a Dockerfile. When I build the Dockerfile everything looks normal and i get no errors but when I run the container tesseract is not installed.
If I access the container using sudo docker exec -t -i <container_id> /bin/bash and manually install tesseract using apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr-all it installs and works perfectly. Why doesn't it work when I try to install it during the build process?
My Dockerfile looks like this:
FROM ubuntu:20.04
ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr-all
RUN tesseract --version
FROM python:3.7
WORKDIR ocr
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip3 install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
COPY . .
Thanks!
It looks like you are leveraging Docker multi-stage builds without realizing it.
When you put FROM python:3.7, you essentially throw away everything you have done above that, since you start a new stage.
The easiest solution I can see is to move
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr-all
RUN tesseract --version
into the FROM python:3.7 stage, and remove the FROM ubuntu:20.04 stage.
You need to switch your user, since you likely don't have permission to run those commands. Something like this should work:
USER root
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr-all
USER <switch back to previous user>
You'll need to figure out what the default user is to switch back, which you can probably find in the Ubuntu docs or using whoami.
Created a Docker file in oreder to install Tomcat server from Unix as bashe os
My Dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu
RUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y #to update os
RUN apt-get dist-upgrade
RUN apt-get install build-essential
RUN apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk # to install java 8
RUN apt-get wget -y #to install wget package
RUN apt-get wget https://mirrors.estointernet.in/apache/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.37/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.37.tar.gz #to download tomcat
RUN tar -xvzf apache-tomcat-9.0.37 # unzipping the tomcat
RUN mkdir tomcat # craeting tomacat directory
RUN cp apache-tomcat-9.0.37/* tomcat # copying tomact files to tomact directory
Command to create Docker Image from Docker file:
docker build -t [img name] -f [file name] .
On execution, while installing java package am getting like this:
'''After this operation, 242 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y'''
You are getting the prompt because the command is awaiting user input for whether or not to install a package. The -y flag you're using for a few of them (like wget) allows bash to assume a yes. Add this flag to all your installation commands.
By the way, there's quite a few potential issues with the Dockerfile you posted.
For example, you have RUN apt-get wget ...
Are you sure that is what you want to do, and not just RUN wget ...? Unless wget is a command that apt-get takes, which it isn't, it will cause unexpected behavior.
You also seem to be missing the command to start the Tomcat server, which can make it so that nothing happens when you attempt to run the image.
I think you should add DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive when running the apt-get commands, something like this:
RUN apt-get update && \
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install build-essential -y
Also, it's considered bad practice to use multiple RUN steps which could be consolidated into one. More about Dockerfile best practices can be found here.
I am learning about build image using docker file.
short description of what I have done
step 1
For making testing I have started on build image using below docker file
FROM centos:6.8
MAINTAINER Bilal Usean "xxxxx#xxx.xxx"
RUN yum install -y httpd; yum -y clean all
after that I have run the below command
docker build -t httpd/centos:6.8 .
it is successfully install apache in httpd/centos:6.8 image
step 2
Next I am trying to install jdk in the same existing newly created image
FROM centos:6.8
MAINTAINER Bilal Usean "xxxxxx#xxx#xx"
RUN yum install -y httpd; yum -y clean all
yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel; yum -y clean all
after that I have run the below command
docker build -t httpd/centos:6.8 .
But It will start from again httpd install, I expected it will skip that httpd step for already install.
I think it is not a good practice to make docker file.I have 20 RUN command in docker file, that is download heavy size file from net so I want to make sure about it each command success. otherwise it will fail intermediately and again it will charge more MB.
note: If I am in the wrong way, please describe the best way to deal with image and docker file.
It repeats here because you did not add another RUN command, but appended (and changed) the previous command (docker detects this change, and runs the new command).
What you should be writing is:
FROM centos:6.8
MAINTAINER Bilal Usean "xxxxxxxx#xxx.xxx"
RUN yum install -y httpd; yum -y clean all
RUN yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel; yum -y clean all

You cannot execute ADD (or COPY) on a file that is not inside the directory that contains your Dockerfile.
The reason for that is that building docker images is meant to be a deterministic build. If I build the Dockerimage on my computer with your Dockerfile, I would have a different .vim
The docker team impose this limitation to encourage people using a self contained directory with a Dockerfile, and any file to add to it.
In your case, you will need to copy the file in the same directory of the Dockerfile first, and run:
ADD .vim /root/.vim
Or arguably better:
COPY .vim /root/.vim
Use this form instead. It works with hidden files(dot files) and filename contains whitespaces.
ADD ["/Users/username/.vim/", "/root/.vim"]
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#/add
Please remove tailing slash after .vim
So, it will go as
ADD /Users/username/.vim /root/.vim
