Installing libraries in Docker via git

[nicor88]

Describe the bug

When using Lambdas with Docker, or when building ECS containers, I want to be able to install python libraries from via git.

e.g. I want to install git+https://github.com/dbt-athena/dbt-athena@main

When trying to do that I get this error:

ERROR: Error [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'git' while executing command git version

Expected Behavior

I should be able to install a python library hosted in git.

Current Behavior

Considering that git is not available in the lambda packaging Docker image, I'm not able to install install librabries from git

Reproduction Steps

const MyLambda = new lambda.DockerImageFunction(
      this,
      "MyLambda",
      {
        code: lambda.DockerImageCode.fromImageAsset(
          path.join(__dirname, "./lambdas/my_lambda")
        ),
        timeout: cdk.Duration.seconds(900),
        memorySize: 4096,
        logRetention: logs.RetentionDays.ONE_WEEK,
      }
    );

inside my_lambda I have thi structure:

• Dockerfile
• requirementst.txt
• app/
  • main.py

Dockerfile content

FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.12
# Install the function's dependencies using file requirements.txt
# from your project folder.
COPY requirements.txt  .
RUN  pip3 install -r requirements.txt --target "${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}"
# Copy function code
COPY app/main.py ${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}
# Set the CMD to your handler (could also be done as a parameter override outside of the Dockerfile)
ADD app/components components
CMD [ "main.handler" ]

requirements.txt

awswrangler==3.4.2
requests==2.31.0
git+https://github.com/dbt-athena/dbt-athena@main

Possible Solution

Having git installed in the Docker packaing

Thanks for the hint @nicor88 , I'm using public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.12 and I resolved the same issue adding
RUN dnf -y install git to my Dockerfile
