#Docker – Container dies immediately upon successful start in a #RaspberryPi. Of course, it’s all about #TensorFlow dependencies

Hi !

Creating Docker images is a fun process. When I created the CustomVision.ai custom image to be executed in my Raspberry Pi, I faced a couple of errors, so now it’s time to save / share some lessons learned.

One of the most frustrating steps was after my 15 min wait time to build an image to find that the image was successfully built, however it dies after I run the image with a command like this one

sudo docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8080:80 -d <IMAGE ID>

There are a couple of options to understand what’s happen here. I decided to launch and trace the live events from Docker with the command

sudo docker events&

This windows is a full buffer of Docker events, after a while I detected that after I tried to start my docker image I got 2 messages similar to this one

2019-02-12T07:34:46.195722938-05:00 container start cdcdcc410518db46e09967412bd583c33cff6f4e8eee0f10e8baeec860f9c9a2 (image=295, io.balena.architecture=armv7hf, io.balena.device-type=raspberry-pi2, io.balena.qemu.version=3.0.0+resin-arm, name=musing_zhukovsky)

2019-02-12T07:34:46.195722938-05:00 container die cdcdcc410518db46e09967412bd583c33cff6f4e8eee0f10e8baeec860f9c9a2 (image=295, io.balena.architecture=armv7hf, io.balena.device-type=raspberry-pi2, io.balena.qemu.version=3.0.0+resin-arm, name=musing_zhukovsky)

As you probably detected (much faster than me!) the events were container start and container die. But the docker events does not display much more information with details of the event.

What we can use is the <LOG ID> included in the event line. And with the following command we can get more details of the event.

sudo docker logs cdcdcc410518db46e09967412bd583c33cff6f4e8eee0f10e8baeec860f9c9a2

This is much better! Now I know that we can’t import a Python module named PIL on the file [app.py], in the line 10. When I open the file, it all makes sense.

So now it’s time to check the dependencies and tools required to use TensorFlow in a Raspberry Pi. I’ll write more about this tomorrow 😀

Happy coding!
