ERROR: Failed building wheel for detectron2 when installing detectron2 through a docker image in a DigitalOcean droplet

[eRuaro]

I'm running into an error when installing detectron2 in a docker image in a digital ocean droplet but it works with no problems when I build the docker image in my local machine.

EDIT: Upon rebuilding with --no-cache the dockerfile below doesn't include detectron when building for some reason. Didn't have this before.

Here's my dockerfile:

FROM python:3.10-slim-buster

# Update package lists
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install ffmpeg libsm6 libxext6 gcc g++ git build-essential libpoppler-cpp-dev pkg-config poppler-utils tesseract-ocr libtesseract-dev -y

# Make working directories
RUN  mkdir -p  /app
WORKDIR  /app
# Copy the requirements.txt file to the container
COPY requirements.txt .

# Install dependencies
RUN pip install --upgrade pip

RUN pip install torch torchvision torchaudio

RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

RUN pip install 'git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/[email protected]#egg=detectron2'

# Copy the .env file to the container
COPY .env .

# Copy every file in the source folder to the created working directory
COPY  . .

# Expose the port that the application will run on
EXPOSE 8080

# Start the application
CMD ["python3.10", "uvicorn", "-m", "main:app", "--proxy-headers", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8080"]

I'm using a basic digital ocean droplet with 2 GB Memory / 2 Intel vCPUs / 60 GB Disk / and running Ubuntu 22.10 x64.

Here's the error:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I've also tried with this dockerfile:

FROM python:3.10-slim-buster

# Update package lists
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install ffmpeg libsm6 libxext6 gcc g++ git build-essential libpoppler-cpp-dev pkg-config poppler-utils tesseract-ocr libtesseract-dev -y

# Make working directories
RUN  mkdir -p  /app
WORKDIR  /app
# Copy the requirements.txt file to the container
COPY requirements.txt .

# Install dependencies
RUN pip install --upgrade pip

RUN pip install torch torchvision torchaudio

RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

RUN pip install 'git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2.git'

# Copy the .env file to the container
COPY .env .

# Copy every file in the source folder to the created working directory
COPY  . .

# Expose the port that the application will run on
EXPOSE 8080

# Start the application
CMD ["python3.10", "-m", "uvicorn", "main:app", "--proxy-headers", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8080"]

But it doesn't install detectron on my local machine.

Try running pip install git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/iopath@8f359cf63bec091969ad8f30fa14c17d3218c347#egg=iopath before detectron2

[rahelbeloch]

We had the same issue and it came down to memory limitations. Running our docker file with the command RUN pip install 'git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2.git' required up to 30GB memory on the machine where it was running.

Maybe you can use some memory visualisation tool of your machine to see if the memory is running full while building the image...

Did you find any answers for your problem because I am facing the same problem.

I got the same error, is there any update?
