Templates not working in Openshift

[pbriet]

I encountered the issue described in https://github.com/openfaas/python-flask-template/issues/25

The problem still exists, and is due to Openshift assigning random user ids to containers.

Expected Behaviour

Dependencies in requirements.txt are available within function

Current Behaviour

ModuleNotFoundError

Possible Solution

I think the simplest way to solve this issue is to install the requirements globally

I.e. replacing :

USER app
RUN pip install --user -r requirements.txt

by

USER root
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

This fix has been successfully tested.

Your Environment

• Openshift/OKD 4.7 (but should affect all versions of Openshift / OKD)

• Faas-CLI version 0.13.9

Thanks,
