Trying to create a very basic python image with a Dockerfile:
FROM python:3.8-slim
RUN pip3 install python-magic
The build works fine but when I try to run the container and simply import magic, python gives:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/magic.py", line 201, in <module>
raise ImportError('failed to find libmagic. Check your installation')
ImportError: failed to find libmagic. Check your installation
I have googled and tried all different types of installtions such as:
RUN pip3 install python-magic
RUN pip3 install python-magic==0.4.18
RUN pip3 install python-libmagic
I don't know what is so special about this package but for some reason I can't seem to access it in my docker image. Works fine on my local mac computer.
