Docker `/bin/sh: 1: [<executable>, : not found` - python

I want to run an executable installed with pip. Running the following image gives me /bin/sh: 1: [hbd,: not found:
FROM python:3.8.3-slim-buster
WORKDIR /data
COPY cookies.txt /data/cookies.txt
RUN python3.8 -m pip install humblebundle-downloader
CMD ["hbd", "download", "--cookie-file", "/data/cookies.txt", "--library-path", "/data" "--progress", "--update"]
I've tried CMD ["/usr/local/bin/python3.8", "-m", "hbd", "download",... and CMD python -m hbd download... and similar as well. Resulting in /bin/sh: 1: [/usr/local/bin/python3.8,: not found etc.
If I replace CMD ... with CMD which python3.8 && which hbd && find / -executable -type f -name hbd I get:
/usr/local/bin/python3.8
/usr/local/bin/hbd
/usr/local/bin/hbd
Which to me, tells me that the executables are there!?
How do I execute the, clearly present, executable?
I'm at my wits' end. Thank you!
Edit:
I tried with the 'non-slim' version of the base image, i.e FROM python:3.8.5-buster, no dice.

Hello I trying your Dockerfile it failed, I ran a shell inside the instead and tried hbd, the command was available just fine:
docker run -ti 7552b04ea25b sh
# hbd
usage: hbd [-h] {download} ...
hbd: error: the following arguments are required: action
I then tried without the quote, square brackets and commas, it worked:
CMD hbd download --cookie-file /data/cookies.txt --library-path /data --progress --update
I tried again with your CMD, it failed, I shortened it, it worked, with a few trial and errors I finally I saw that you forgot a comma between 2 arguments. You command shall be (notice the comma between 2 arguments has been added):
CMD ["hbd", "download", "--cookie-file", "/data/cookies.txt", "--library-path", "/data", "--progress", "--update"]
So next time, try you hypothesis and try to investigate yourself:
Hypothesis: The executable is not found ? Then test it by checking the command inside the container by running a shell inside it. Conclusion: path & executable are found.
Hypothesis: CMD syntax is wrong ? Let's try a different syntax. It works with CMD hbd. So yes obvious that was the CMD syntax... Let's try to debug it and craft it by dichotomy... Hey a comma is missing ;) Problem solved.

CMD ["hbd", "download", "--cookie-file", "/data/cookies.txt", "--library-path", "/data" "--progress", "--update"]
Should be
CMD ["hbd", "download", "--cookie-file", "/data/cookies.txt", "--library-path", "/data", "--progress", "--update"]
What I think is happening is that since CMD is not specified as a valid JSON array, it is interpreted as a normal command that begins with [ which is of course not valid.

The issue might be because of which the environment variables are not set or the path is not exported to the environment. Trying either of these, might help

Unable to create process using '/usr/bin/env

I am trying to use Pidcat for logging. I downloaded the Pidcat.py and pasted it in the following directory:
C:\Python\Scripts
Added this path in the Environment Variables as well. But when I try to log in using the following command:
pidcat -s deviceId
I get the following error:
Unable to create process using '/usr/bin/env -S python -u "C:\Python\Scripts\pidcat.py" -s deviceId'
I used CMD to run a python file getofflinelog.py.
The command is:
python getofflinelog.py -m txt -d camlog -o offline.log
I got a similar error Unable to create process using '/usr/bin/env...., and I solved it by changing the command to:
C:\Users\liutongjun\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe getofflinelog.py -m txt -d camlog -o offline.log
I also found that if I added this path to the environment variables, the first short command would work.
I'm not very clear why it works, I do not install Python in this path and there are only a series of exe programs in this folder. Just for reference.

Linux run shell cmd from python, Failed to load config file

I have installed a backup program called rclone on my raspberry pi which is running Debian, I have successfully ran the cmd in the shell to backup a folder to google drive but I really need to be able to do so each time a take a photo with my python script, I have little experience in Linux compared to others and I thought that if I made a shell script with a basic shebang of
#!/bin/sh
or
#!/bin/bash
then the cmd below
rclone copy /var/www/html/camera_images pictures::folder1
I then made the .sh file executable, and this works if I just click it in the folder and execute but if I try to call that .sh script from python with
os.system('sh /home/pi/py/upload.sh')
or
os.system(' rclone copy /var/www/html/camera_images pictures::folder1 ')
I get an error in the shell saying
Failed to load config file "/root/.rclone.conf" using default - no such directory.
But the .conf is located in /home/pi as it should be. and if i try
os.system(' sh rclone copy /var/www/html/camera_images pictures::folder1 ')
I get
sh: 0: Cant open rclone.
How can I can run the copy cmd or a script to do so from python?
this is how i installed rclone
cd
wget http://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-v1.34-linux-arm.zip
unzip rclone-v1.34-linux-arm.zip
cd rclone-v1.34-linux-arm
sudo cp rclone /usr/sbin/
sudo chown root:root /usr/sbin/rclone
sudo chmod 755 /usr/sbin/rclone
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1
sudo cp rclone.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/
sudo mandb
rclone config
Use --config in your rclone command
From docs:
--config string Config file. (default /home/ncw/.rclone.conf")
Your command should looks like:
os.system(' sh rclone copy --config /home/pi/.rclone.conf /var/www/html/camera_images pictures::folder1 ')
You should be using subprocess module instead of os.system.
You can use subprocess.Popen to create a process and give it a working directory.
subprocess.Popen(your_command, cwd=path_to_your_executable_dir, shell=True)
(Use shell=True to pass a simple string command among other conveniences).
The shell argument (which defaults to False) specifies whether to use
the shell as the program to execute. If shell is True, it is
recommended to pass args as a string rather than as a sequence.
On Unix with shell=True, the shell defaults to /bin/sh. If args is a
string, the string specifies the command to execute through the shell.
This means that the string must be formatted exactly as it would be
when typed at the shell prompt. This includes, for example, quoting or
backslash escaping filenames with spaces in them. If args is a
sequence, the first item specifies the command string, and any
additional items will be treated as additional arguments to the shell
itself. That is to say, Popen does the equivalent of: ....
Thank you every one :)
I have it working now with
os.system(' rclone copy --config /home/pi/.rclone.conf /var/www/html/camera_images pictures::folder1 ')
Note that if i put sh at the start i got the error sh: 0: Can't open rclone though i read yesterday about putting something like ,:0 at the end as a return value ? either way it works without the sh.
and the subprocess works too which i shall use instead.
subprocess.Popen('rclone copy --config /home/pi/.rclone.conf /var/www/html/camera_images pictures::folder1', shell=True)

sbin/start-stop-daemon not able to start python - ubuntu docker container

I have a simple python script which I want to start a daemon-service in background in docker container
/sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --user root --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/lock/subsys/my-application.pid --exec 'python /opt/app/uc/monitor/bin/my-application.py'
when I execute this command in a shell I get
/sbin/start-stop-daemon: unable to stat //python /opt/app/uc/monitor/bin/my-application.py (No such file or directory)
However when execute just the below command in shell it works
python /opt/app/uc/monitor/bin/my-application.py
I'm sure the python is installed and all the links have been setup.
Thanks for the help
That error message implies that start-stop-daemon is looking for a file to open (the stat operation is a check before it opens the file) and treating your 'python ... ' argument as if it was a file.
See this example which confirms this. You may need to read the man page for start-stop-daemon, for your Ubuntu version, to check what a valid command would be for your setup.
Simplest solution is probably to create a shell script (say /opt/app/uc/monitor/bin/run-my-application.sh), and put this into it:
#!/bin/bash
python /opt/app/uc/monitor/bin/my-application.py
Be sure to do chmod +x on this file. If python is not found, use which python to find the path to python and use that in the script.
Now try:
/sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --user root --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/lock/subsys/my-application.pid --exec '/opt/app/uc/monitor/bin/run-my-application.sh'

unknown command line flag 'logtostderr'

I am running this SIFT program at this site: https://github.com/sanchom/sjm
All the stuffs go well until I run my program:
$ python extract_caltech.py --dataset_path=[path_to_your_101_Categories_directory] \
--process_limit [num_processes_to_spawn] --sift_normalization_threshold 2.0 -- sift_discard_unnormalized \
--sift_grid_type FIXED_3X3 --sift_first_level_smoothing 0.66 --sift_fast --sift_multiscale \
--features_directory [path_for_extracted_features]
In the output, I see this line thousands of times:
ERROR: unknown command line flag 'logtostderr'
I have checked for some solutions as suggested here:
https://code.google.com/p/google-glog/issues/detail?id=17&q=glog%20gflagsBut
What I did is to add GLOG_logtostderr=1 before I run my program:
GLOG_logtostderr=1 ./my_application
But it did not work our for me.
As far as I know, its the problem related to linking between Gflags and Glog. But i haven't got any ideas on how to solve it yet. Please help. Thanks!
$GLOG_logtostderr=1 isn't doing what you expect. $name means "replace this with the value of the environment variable name". But you want to define a new variable. Use this instead:
GLOG_logtostderr=1 ./my_application
(i.e. omit the $).
I have solved my problem. Its because IIRC macports' glog is not built with gflags but the python script sets --logtostderr. So just remove --logtostderr from the python script by running the script:
find . -name '*.py' -exec perl -i -p -e 's/--logtostderr//' {} \;
To find out if you're affected, run
ldd libglog.so
and check if libgflags is in the output.
The solution is suggested from this site:

Supervisor and perlbrew

I try to use supervisor with perlbrew, but I can not make it work. For perlbrew I just tried to set the environment variable that go well, but perhaps it is better to make a script that launches perlbrew and plackup, this my configuration file:
[program:MahewinSimpleBlog]
command = perlbrew use perl-5.14.2 && plackup -E deployment -s Starman --workers=10 -p 4000 -a bin/app.pl -D
directory = /home/hobbestigrou/MahewinSimpleBlog
environment = PERL5LIB ='/home/hobbestigrou/MahewinBlogEngine/lib',PERLBREW_ROOT='/home/hobbestigrou/perl5/perlbrew',PATH='/home/hobbestigrou/perl5/perlbrew/bin:/home/hobbestigrou/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.2/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games',MANPATH='/home/hobbestigrou/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.2/man:',PERLBREW_VERSION='0.43',PERLBREW_PERL='perl-5.14.2',PERLBREW_MANPATH='/home/hobbestigrou/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.2/man',PERLBREW_SKIP_INIT='1',PERLBREW_PATH='/home/hobbestigrou/perl5/perlbrew/bin:/home/hobbestigrou/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.2/bin',SHLVL='2'
user = hobbestigrou
stdout_file = /home/hobbestigrou/mahewinsimpleblog.log
autostart = true
In the log I see it's not looking at the right place:
Error while loading bin/app.pl: Can't locate Type/Params.pm in #INC (#INC contains: /home/hobbestigrou/MahewinSimpleBlog/lib /home/hobbestigrou/MahewinBlogEngine/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /home/hobbestigrou/MahewinBlogEngine/lib/MahewinBlogEngine/Article.pm line 5.
I do not see the problem, maybe perlbrew use done other things
When you installed perlbrew, you added a command to your .bashrc. You're getting that message because that command wasn't run for the shell in question because it's not an interactive shell.
Why don't you explicitly use /home/hobbestigrou/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.2/bin/perl instead of using perlbrew use?
