Hi !
In the past days I found a weird error when I export a model created with CustomVision.ai to docker. The docker image build ok, however, I found this error when I try to run the container.
❯ docker run -p 8090:8090 squirrelscv
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "app.py", line 7, in <module>

ImportError: cannot import name 'soft_unicode' from 'markupsafe' (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/markupsafe/__init__.py)
And hey, it took me sometime to understand and find a way to solve the error. If you want to avoid searching and reading, you only need to read this Issue
And hey, the solution is to make a downgrade to some packages in the docker image definition. The following docker definition, adds the 2 necessary packages to make it work.
FROM python:3.7-slim
RUN pip install -U pip
# custom packages version to avoid custom vision error
RUN pip install markupsafe==2.0.1
RUN pip install protobuf==3.20.1
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir numpy~=1.17.5 tensorflow~=2.0.2 flask~=1.1.2 pillow~=7.2.0
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir mscviplib==2.200731.16
COPY app /app
# Expose the port
EXPOSE 8090
# Set the working directory
WORKDIR /app
# Run the flask server for the endpoints
CMD python -u app.py
And, now we can run the images !
Happy coding!
