error: externally-managed-environment
```

× This environment is externally managed ╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to install.

If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.

If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.

See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages. hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

Hmm, did you upgrade this system from Bullseye to Bookworm? I am wondering how pip and the docker-compose module were installed in the first place without the related override for this pip block in place.

However, do the following and then retry:

grep -q '\[global\]' /etc/pip.conf 2> /dev/null || printf '%b' '[global]\n' | sudo tee -a /etc/pip.conf > /dev/null
sudo sed -i '/^\[global\]/a\break-system-packages=true' /etc/pip.conf

Actually, yes, I did just recently upgrade to bookworm using the script here: https://dietpi.com/blog/?p=3128

I ran the two commands provided and it seems to be fine now.

Created a post-install debug report in case you want to see it - d974e242-9339-477c-9c94-fb614a3fa65d

Did you install Docker Compose via dietpi-software before or manually? Python 3 should have been reinstalled, adding this setting to /etc/pip.conf, but not if Python was installed manually. And now Docker Compose does not require Python anymore.

EDIT: Ah thanks for the debug upload. I'll have a look. We should be able to prevent this error when knowing the circumstances which lead to it.

I don't recall installing Docker Compose via the dietpi-software route before, and I also do not recall installing it manually, though that is a possibility..I've had this box up and running for a few years now and early on I was kind of just hacking at it to get functionality. I use the box primarily for a VPN server and PiHole/Unbound setup, but have recently wanted to expand what the box is doing so figured Docker would be a good path forward.
