error upon starting: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'restic-compose-backup' distribution was not found and is required by the application

I cloned the repo, edited the .env file and tried starting it with docker-compose up

I got this error:

looking at the output from build phase, I see this: Could not build wheels for restic-compose-backup, since package 'wheel' is not installed.

Probably a silly thing that is easy enough to fix. I'll take a look.

You could pull and try build with --no-cache option.

What OS are you on?

[clarity99]

ubuntu 16.04

I've fixed it by changing Dockerfile: diff --git a/src/Dockerfile b/src/Dockerfile index 00ab72c..946aec3 100644 --- a/src/Dockerfile +++ b/src/Dockerfile @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ RUN apk update && apk add python3 dcron mariadb-client postgresql-client ADD . /restic-compose-backup WORKDIR /restic-compose-backup RUN pip3 install -U pip setuptools && pip3 install -e . +RUN pip3 install -e . ENV XDG_CACHE_HOME=/cache

No idea really what I am doing, as I have no clue about python, but this seems to work.

Seems like a harmless change. If it works, it works. I should probably separate the Dockerfile used in dev and prod to resolve this fully
