gunicorn: command not found-CodePudding

I get gunicorn: command not found when I run my Docker image. And when I shell into image and run it manually I get the same error.

However, the output of pip install gunicorn confirms it is installed:

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Requirement already satisfied: gunicorn in ./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (20.1.0)
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools>=3.0 in /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (from gunicorn) (58.1.0)

Here are the files to build this image:

CodePudding user response：

You should RUN pip install as root, without the --user option.

If you run pip install --user, it installs packages into ~/.local. In Docker the $HOME environment variable isn't usually defined, so this will install them into /.local. If you looked inside the built image, you'd probably find a runnable /.local/bin/gunicorn, but that /.local/bin directory isn't on the $PATH.

Typical use in Docker is to install Python packages into the "system" Python; the Docker image itself is isolation from other Pythons. This will put the *.py files into somewhere like /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages, and the gunicorn executable will be in /usr/local/bin, which is on the standard $PATH.
