Dockerfile cannot run manage.py on Windows 10


Here is my Dockerfile:

# base image
FROM python:3.7.2-alpine

# set working directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# add and install requirements
COPY ./requirements.txt /usr/src/app/requirements.txt
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

# add app
COPY . /usr/src/app

# run server
CMD ["python", "manage.py", "run"]

This is my manage.py file:

from flask.cli import FlaskGroup
from project import app

cli = FlaskGroup(app)

# run and manage the app from the command line
if __name__ == '__main__':
    cli()

When I ran "docker-compose up", everything is good but this:

Starting app_users_1 ... done

It seems the the last step (CMD) from the Dockerfile failed. In my local machine, the flask application can be run without any problem. I have no idea why it failed in the "flask.cli" module. It seems it didn't take the "run" argument?

Please help!


Solution

  • The problem you are facing is actually contained in the last line of your stacktrace. I'll try to first shed some light into the error, then give you a solution:

    Meaning of error:

    • OSError: an error related to your operating system (i.e. windows) occurred.
    • Exec format error: '/usr/src/app/manage.py': specifically, the system cannot execute the manage.py file, most probably due to a missing shebang at the top of the file.

    Possible solution:

    Add a shebang at the beginning of the file, possibly using the full path of your python executable.

    OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error

    Why not os.path.join use os.path.sep or os.sep?
