Dockerfile commands not running on compose but working in the CLI after the container is built

Issue

I’m currently learning docker and trying to deploy my django project to a local container with postgres and redis.

When I run docker compose the container builds and lets me connect to the django server but it is missing some of the pip requirements and libraries specified in the Dockerfile. If I run the commands from the Dockerfile in the CLI of the container they all work correctly.
The Dockerfile used in the docker compose, gcc library installs correctly but g++ and any of the other unixodbc libraries don’t exist in the container when checking from the CLI interface.

Here is the docker compose file,

version: '3.8'

services:
  dashboard-server:
    build:
      context: ./
    command: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
    container_name: dashboard-server
    depends_on:
      - dashboard-redis
      - dashboard-database
    environment:
      - PGDATABASE=django
      - PGUSER=django
      - PGPASSWORD=2bi3f23f2938f2gdq
      - PGHOST=dashboard-database
      - PGPORT=5432
      - REDIS_URL=redis://dashboard-redis:6379/0
    ports:
      - "80:8000"
    volumes:
    - ./:/usr/src/app

  dashboard-redis:
    container_name: dashboard-redis
    image: redis:6-alpine

  dashboard-database:
    container_name: dashboard-database
    image: postgres:13-alpine
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=django
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=2bi3f23f2938f2gdq
    ports:
      - "5433:5432"
    expose:
      - 5432
    volumes:
      - dashboard-database:/var/lib/postgresql/data

volumes:
  dashboard-database:

The Dockerfile in the same directory,

# pull official base image
FROM python:3.8

# set work directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# set environment variables
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1

# install psycopg2 and pyodbc dependencies
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get -y install postgresql
RUN apt-get -y install gcc # gcc installs correctly
RUN apt-get -y install g++ # g++ and the libraries below don't
RUN apt-get -y install unixodbc
RUN apt-get -y install unixodbc-dev
RUN apt-get -y install freetds-dev
RUN apt-get -y install freetds-bin
RUN apt-get -y install tdsodbc
RUN apt-get -y install --reinstall build-essential
RUN apk add build-base
RUN apt-get clean

RUN echo "[FreeTDS]\n\
Description = FreeTDS Driver\n\
Driver = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libtdsodbc.so\n\
Setup = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libtdsS.so" >> /etc/odbcinst.ini

# install dependencies
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
COPY ./requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

# copy project
COPY . .

The goal here is to get pyodbc installed but doesn’t work until these libraries are installed. I can do this manually in the container after it is built but would like some help finding out why the Dockerfile commands aren’t working.

Running the same command as the one in the Dockerfile installs g++ and the other libraries correctly. Is there something that I’m missing in the docker workflow which causes these libraries to not install as part of the container build?

Solution

You can try this format, it works well for me(update with your libs):

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install --yes libmagic-dev g++ \
    unixodbc unixodbc-dev curl gnupg gnupg1 gnupg2
