Question

I wanted to install google-chrome-stable on pyton image in docker, but I got the following error:

[7/9] RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable:
#11 1.250 Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease

------
executor failed running [/bin/sh -c apt-get update && apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable]: exit code: 100

My dockerfile is the following:

FROM python:3.8
WORKDIR /test
COPY requirements.txt ./requirements.txt
RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y python3-opencv
RUN pip install opencv-python
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable

ADD . /app
EXPOSE 8080
COPY . /test
ENTRYPOINT ["streamlit", "run", "app.py", "--server.port=8080", "--server.address=0.0.0.0"]

Answer 1

As per the instructions here you need to add the chrome repo. So changing your dockerfile to something like the following works:

FROM python:3.8
WORKDIR /test
RUN wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
RUN echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable

Answer 2

I had the same error code when running a docker image like this (I already added the chrome repo) on Macbook M1. If you face the same problem, modify the first line in Dockerfile by:

FROM --platform=linux/amd64 python:3.8
