Can't install pip packages inside a docker container with Ubuntu

Question

I\'m following the fig guide to using docker with a python application, but when docker gets up to the command

RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
         


        

Answer 1

Let it run. Sometimes pypi is having connection issues which are noisily put in your face to make you think it is broke. Just to be sure, let it roll, you might find it works it out for itself.

The bottom line, despite these red error lines, is "Successfully built"
