ImportError: libGL.so.1 when running Docker container with OpenCV

Question

I’m getting the following error when running my docker container:

  W tensorflow/stream_executor/platform/default/dso_loader.cc:64] Could not load dynamic library 'libcudart.so.11.0'; dlerror: libcudart.so.11.0: cannot open shared object file: No such fi

ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried running the following commands as suggested here.

RUN apt-get update ##[edited]
RUN apt-get install ffmpeg libsm6 libxext6  -y

However, I get the error /bin/sh: apt-get: command not found. I also tried installing libGL with yum, but that also did not work. The parent image of this container is linux. Any ideas on how to solve this error? Thank you.

Answer 1

Solved issue by adding this line to the Dockerfile: RUN yum -y install mesa-libGL

Answer 2

In my case, I was creating a python server with flask, that uses the cv2 from OpenCV to analyze images, and I managed to solve this problem by using the python:3.9-slim-buster docker image (that is light version of python full image, only with the necessary dependencies for the Python runtime) and installing the opencv-contrib-python package (you can get a description of this package here). Also I manage to install some apt packages needed by OpenCV, there are libsm6, libxext6, ffmpeg, libfontconfig1, libxrender1, libgl1-mesa-glx.

I’ve also tested with the python:3.8-slim-buster docker image with the same Dockerfile structure and it’s worked fine.

Dockerfile

FROM python:3.9-slim-buster

WORKDIR /app

COPY . .
RUN apt update && apt install -y libsm6 libxext6 ffmpeg libfontconfig1 libxrender1 libgl1-mesa-glx
RUN pip install -r /app/requirements.txt

EXPOSE 8080

ENTRYPOINT [ "python3", "/app/main.py" ]

requirements.txt

Flask
numpy
opencv-contrib-python
python-dotenv

Just in case, the numpy, Flask, and python-dotenv is not necessary to install, I’m installing here because I need it in my python service.

I’ve seen a couple issues about it, but not a definitive answer. Some ways works for some people, some ways not.

I hope it helps.
