setup.py is not working with docker

[anuudb]

When I try to run the "python setup.py" in a docker container, I will get an error like below

root@f9993426d228:/ldapcherry# python setup.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'entry_points'

or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no commands supplied

What would be the reason for this?

[anuudb]

Tried with newest release 1.1.1 and python version 2.7.

I think it's because you didn't specify install (as in python setup.py install).

[anuudb]

It works with install.

Now there is another problem

launch ldapcherry

$ ldapcherryd -c /etc/ldapcherry/ldapcherry.ini -D

After executing this command, I am having an command not found error.
bash: ldapcherryd: command not found

[kakwa]

It's a bit of a guess, but maybe /usr/local/bin/ is not in your PATH.

What happens if you try /usr/local/bin/ldapcherryd -c /etc/ldapcherry/ldapcherry.ini -D?

You could also try to shell into the container and do something like a find / -name 'ldapcherry*'. It will give you where everything is installed.

[anuudb]

I tried "find / -name 'ldapcherry*" and it gives

/etc/ldapcherry
/etc/ldapcherry/ldapcherry.ini
/usr/share/ldapcherry
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ldapcherry-1.1.1.egg-info
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ldapcherry
/ldapcherry
/ldapcherry/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/ldapcherry
/ldapcherry/ldapcherry
/ldapcherry/tests/test_env/etc/ldapcherry
/ldapcherry/tests/test_env/etc/ldapcherry/ldapcherry.ini
/ldapcherry/tests/cfg/ldapcherry_adldap.cfg
/ldapcherry/tests/cfg/ldapcherry_test.ini
/ldapcherry/tests/cfg/ldapcherry.ini
/ldapcherry/conf/ldapcherry.ini

and /usr/local/bin/ folder contains nothing. I couldn't find "ldapcherryd" anywhere.

What will be the reason for it.?

[kakwa]

not sure.

it looks like the 'console_scripts' directive (in setup.py) is not followed. Not sure why.

What is the base docker image you are using?

If you can share it, the DockerFile could also be useful.

[anuudb]

I just created ubuntu 18.04 image and I execute all the command by running the container and inside of that container.

From ubuntu:18.04
Maintainer aaa
ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN apt-get update --fix-missing && apt-get -y purge exim4*
RUN apt-get -y upgrade
RUN mkdir /ldapcherry
COPY ./ /ldapcherry/

It will copy the ldapcherry directory inside the image only. All the commands are executed inside the container.

FWIW, it takes a bit of finagling to set it up.
