Running in Debian Docker Container

[mjsisley]

Thank you for all the work on this project. I am trying to run hitch in a python3.5 container. I get the following error on hitch init. I am getting a key error: debian-.

Hi!

Thanks for trying hitch!

Can you point me to the container you're using to run it in?

[mjsisley]

The base image is python:3.5 from dockerhub https://hub.docker.com/_/python/

Dockerfile is as follows:

`FROM python:3.5
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1

COPY ./requirements /requirements
RUN pip install -r /requirements/test.txt

COPY ./compose/hitch/entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh
RUN chmod +x /entrypoint.sh

WORKDIR /app/tests
ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/bash", "-e", "/entrypoint.sh"]`

Relevant part of docker-compose.yml:

`hitch:
dockerfile: Dockerfile-hitch
build: .
volumes_from:
- django
links:

• django`

hitch init is called in entrypoint.sh

Thanks for your help.

Thanks. I'll take a look at this a little later on.

Hi!

That specific bug is fixed.

It's probably better if you run hitch using a different image than the stock python one however. I'd recommend ubuntu trusty.
