python-3.xdockergdaldjango-3.2

OSError: /usr/lib/libgdal.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I'm using Django 3.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. I'm running a docker container with a django-rest-api web server with python 3.8.14.I'm getting an error with regards to the GDAL library when i run docker-compose and fire up the container.

OSError: /usr/lib/libgdal.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My django settings.py has :

GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = "/usr/lib/libgdal.so"

Upon checking the gdal library version :

gdal-config --version
3.4.1

With regards to above, i installed pip3 gdal == 3.4.1

I can't seem to solve this problem and spent too much time on it. I was previously on Ubuntu 18.04 and switched to 22.04 to upgrade the libgdal library to see if upgrading version works that is done using :

sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev

gdal config --version on 18.04 was 2.4.2 which upgraded to 3.4.1 on Ubuntu 22.04

To check whether libgdal is installed :

ls -l /usr/lib/libgdal.so


Result : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Mar 16  2022 /usr/lib/libgdal.so -> libgdal.so.30.0.1

I'm attaching my docker file :

FROM python:3.8.14

RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get -y upgrade && apt-get install -y ffmpeg 
COPY wait-for-it.sh /wait-for-it.sh


RUN export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/gdal
RUN export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/gdal

# Copy any files over
COPY entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh

# Copy any files over
COPY bootstrap_development_data.sh /bootstrap_development_data.sh

# Change permissions
RUN chmod +x /entrypoint.sh
RUN chmod +x /bootstrap_development_data.sh
RUN chmod +x /wait-for-it.sh
RUN groupadd -r docker && useradd -r -g docker earthling
RUN chown -R earthling /root/


ENTRYPOINT ["/entrypoint.sh"]

COPY requirements.txt /requirements.txt
RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
RUN pip3 install -r /requirements.txt
RUN yes | pip uninstall django-rq-scheduler
RUN yes | pip install -U django-rq-scheduler


VOLUME ["/opt/my-api"]

EXPOSE 80


CMD ["python", "manage.py", "runserver", "0.0.0.0:80"]

Help appreciated.


Solution

  • Thanks to @David for hinting in the right direction.

    Had to add this to my dockerFile :

    RUN apt-get -y install libgdal-dev
