Issue
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
Solution
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:
