FitTrackee doesn't build, hits an docker-build Error 17 in step 5

Hey everyone,

after moving to a new system and building FitTrackee from the scratch again (Debian 12 Bookworm, standard repositories and packages) I encounter an error during stage 5 of the "make docker-build" process regarding the pip-version:

I've set up a new system for that, installed all dependencies and am now hitting an error I never encountered before. If I try to upgrade pip manually via "pip install --upgrade pip", the following message appears:

Can anyone help here? Tried the same with a virtual Ubuntu 22.04 and hit the same error so it shouldn't be that Distro-specific.

Thanks in advance,

Oliver

Strange behavior - Docker worked well on the usual bare Metal-system and had its problems on Proxmox as a container template as a base (Debian 12 as well as Ubuntu 22.04). After going with a "real" VM on Proxmox, everything worked as it should - quite odd, but just wanted to let you know that this issue can be closed therefore.

While I have other LXC-containers with Docker enabled working without problems, FitTrackee on Docker has apparently still some issues but in the end.. it worked.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback, I'll see how to improve the docker files.

No problem as this seems even more related to FitTrackee and Docker running in a Promox LXC-container while a "real" VM worked as expected. Besides, does the DB-password for Docker also needs to be entered in the db/create.sql-file before making the "build" and "init"-processes? This would be nice to point out in the docs as well.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback and your efforts with this great solution 👍🏻 !

Maybe the issue is due to FitTrackee installation in the system environment.
I'll update the docker files to install it in a virtualenv.

The docker files in this repo are for evaluation and development purposes. Another repository exists with sample files for custom configuration (with installation from PyPI and in a virtualenv).

Thanks a lot for this hint with the second repo - this works absolutely fine and eases all my pain or - to be specific - cures it. Everything works fine here (same error on LXC-containers though) and the VPS with Alpine Linux also does its job - just successfully tested it.

THANK YOU!
