No Python in Docker

Hi

It seems like the docker container does not contain any Python interpreter. It would be nice at least ther minimal 3.7 is included in the container.

thanks

It's very simple to install a Python interpreter using the apt-get command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3

Hi, sure I already installed it, just that you know it is not permanent

Since code-server doesn't require Python to run, it's probably best for us to not include it in the image to keep the image's size down. If you need Python in the image, I would suggest making your own image.

makes sense ,t ahnks

In case anyone else is having a similar issue I used this for my Dockerfile

FROM codercom/code-server:latest

USER root
RUN sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install python3 python3-pip

and built the image.

the docker image provides nicely the option to set a sudo password. Opening the terminal in the UI of code-server and issuing: sudo <command> is more than convenient, IMHO.
Nice work people. Keep up the good work!
