Unable to run `apt-get` commands in Dockerfile "executor failed running"

Time:05-26

Working on OSX, zsh within iTerm2.

I have a .sh script to build a Docker container. It was originally being built using openjdk Alpine but I transitioned to Bullseye such that it works with M1 chips on Mac. I'm now running into an issue where these lines in the file don't run:

 18 # Install git as additional requirement
 19 RUN apt-get update && \
 20     apt-get upgrade  && \
 21     apt-get install git && \
 22     apt-get install bash

When running this I get the following error:

------
executor failed running [/bin/sh -c apt-get update &&     apt-get upgrade  &&     apt-get install bash]: exit code: 1
.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR while building docker container!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
USAGE:
docker/buildDocker.sh [TAG_NAME]

I'm fairly new to Docker but I'm a bit confused as to why this is. With Alpine these RUN commands were apk so I simply changed them to apt-get to match Bullseye's package manager. Using apt results in the same error. Have I done something wrong? I'm not even sure of the proper terminology here so apologies for ay errors. Here is the full Dockerfile:

If we try building from the following Dockerfile:

FROM openjdk:16-bullseye AS build-env-java

# Install git as additional requirement
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get upgrade  && \
    apt-get install git && \
    apt-get install bash

It will fail with this error:

[...]
After this operation, 15.4 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Abort.
The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get update &&     apt-get upgrade  &&     apt-get install git &&     apt-get install bash' returned a non-zero code: 1

As you can see apt-get is attempting to prompt for interactive input, but because it's not an interactive environment the command fails. We need to tell apt-get to install without prompting by adding the -y flag to the upgrade command. The install command will need the same treatment:

FROM openjdk:16-bullseye AS build-env-java

# Install git as additional requirement
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get -y upgrade  && \
    apt-get -y install git bash

I've consolidated your multiple apt-get install commands into a single command (because that will generally be faster), but you can of course continue to use multiple commands if you wish.

This Dockerfile builds without errors.
