I have created an image with a bash script called by ENTRYPOINT that itself launches an executable from a conda environment. I'm building this from a single layer directly (for now) which I realize is not best practice, but let's ignore that for a hot second...
Dockerfile
FROM alexholehouse/seq_demo:demo_early
SHELL ["/bin/bash", "-c"]
ENTRYPOINT ["/seq_demo/launcher/launcher.sh"]
Where launcher.sh is
#!/bin/bash
# source bashrc which includes conda init section (and works fine in an interactive terminal)
source /root/.bashrc
# activate the conda environment
conda activate custom_conda
if [ -d /mount ]
then
cd /mount
# run the executable from the conda environment
demo_seq -k KEYFILE.kf
else
echo "No storage mounted..."
fi
Now the problem is that when I build the image using the above Dockerfile, the .bashrc file doesn't get sourced because of the following (standard) line at the top of .bashrc.
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
... <bashrc stuff>
__conda_setup="$('/root/miniconda3/bin/conda' 'shell.bash' 'hook' 2> /dev/null)"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
eval "$__conda_setup"
else
if [ -f "/root/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then
. "/root/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
else
export PATH="/root/miniconda3/bin:$PATH"
fi
fi
unset __conda_setup
So running the image using
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/mount b29c47a060
Means .bashrc is not sourced and the launcher.sh fails because conda can't be found.
If, on the other hand, I edit .bashrc so all the conda stuff is above the [ -z "$PS1" ] && return line then (a) conda gets sourced and (b) the rest of the .bashrc is read too.
Now, editing .bashrc solves my issue but this cannot be the right way to do this! So, what's the correct way to set up an image/Dockerfile so:
(a) A specific bash script gets run upon running the container and
(b) That bash script sources the .bashrc
I feel like I'm just missing something super obvious here...
