[Install issue]:

[reasonmethis]

What happened?

I ran:

docker run --env-file ./.chroma_env -p 8000:8000 -v ./my-chroma/:/chroma/chroma chromadb/chroma

with the contents of .chroma_env being

CHROMA_SERVER_AUTH_CREDENTIALS="somestring"
CHROMA_SERVER_AUTH_CREDENTIALS_PROVIDER="chromadb.auth.token.TokenConfigServerAuthCredentialsProvider"
CHROMA_SERVER_AUTH_PROVIDER="chromadb.auth.token.TokenAuthServerProvider"
CHROMA_SERVER_AUTH_TOKEN_TRANSPORT_HEADER="X_CHROMA_TOKEN"

and got an error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '"chromadb'

I double-checked that I have the most recent version of the Docker image and that the environment variables are defined as described in the Authentication section of the docs.

Interestingly, running

docker run -p 8000:8000 -v ./my-chroma/:/chroma/chroma chromadb/chroma

doesn't run into a problem (except for the "is" bug, which is still reported in the logs).

Versions

Docker 24.0.7

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '"chromadb'

[tazarov]

Hey @reasonmethis, the issue you are facing concerns .chroma_env and how docker handles them. It appears that double quotes " are being handled as a regular character, and thus the error you see '"chromadb'. Please remove the sections, and you should be fine. In the meantime, I will fix this in our template and docs so it doesn't cause any further headaches.

[reasonmethis]

Ah, interesting, thanks!

[jeffchuber]

thanks @tazarov !
