About

Python 3 ready container to build Python 3 projects, with support for Continuous Integration.

https://hub.docker.com/r/kuralabs/python3-dev/

Uses Ubuntu 20.04 as base and installs a full Python 3.8 stack ready for traditional or AsyncIO development. It install, among other things:

• python3
• python3-dev
• python3-pip
• python3-venv
• python3-wheel
• python3-setuptools
• openssh-client
• build-essential
• cmake
• graphviz
• flake8
• cryptography
• tox
• git
• rsync

Also creates a python3 user that allows to test as a non-root user (although it is a sudoer).

Usage

docker pull kuralabs/python3-dev:latest
docker run --interactive --tty --init kuralabs/python3-dev:latest bash

There is an entrypoint that can adjust container's user UID, user GID and the Docker GID if required.

Adjusting the user UID and user GID allows the container user to match the host's user and avoids permission issues in continuous integration systems that runs the container. This is different to passing --user to the container, as the files and HOME beloging to the container user will be changed too.

Adjusting the Docker GID allows the container user to access the docker.sock to build containers inside the container if the socket was mounted.

To adjust user and groups identifiers run the container with the following environment variables:

• ADJUST_USER_UID: Host's user UID to adjust container's user UID to.
• ADJUST_USER_GID: Host's user GID to adjust container's user GID to.
• ADJUST_DOCKER_GID: Host's Docker GID to adjust container's Docker GID to.

For example:

ADJUST_USER_UID=$(id -u)
ADJUST_USER_GID=$(id -g)
ADJUST_DOCKER_GID=$(getent group docker | cut -d: -f3)

docker run \
    --interactive --tty --init \
    --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    --env ADJUST_USER_UID=${ADJUST_USER_UID} \
    --env ADJUST_USER_GID=${ADJUST_USER_GID} \
    --env ADJUST_DOCKER_GID=${ADJUST_DOCKER_GID} \
    kuralabs/python3-dev:latest bash

For the adjustment to work, the user starting the container must be root, which is also the default. Make sure to pass --user root:root to the container if unsure if the run environment sets another user. The container's entrypoint will print a warning if the user running the container is not user 0.

Once the entrypoint ends its tasks, the user command is run as the unpriviledged user python3

If you need to set the container to the same time zone as your host machine you may use the following options:

--env TZ=America/New_York \
--volume /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro \
--volume /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \

There is also support for the execution of startup scripts by placing executable scripts in the /docker-entrypoint-init.d/ directory. To do so, mount the startup scripts directory as follows:

--volume /your/scripts/path:/docker-entrypoint-init.d/ \
