How to activate anaconda environment in php-fpm shell_exec?

Question

I have php-fpm running as nginx user in a docker container. Dockerfile creates correct anaconda environment called 'ss' with pandas package. It works ok when I attach to the docker container.

Docker CMD runs an init.sh script:

. /opt/conda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
conda activate /opt/conda/envs/ss
php-fpm --fpm-config /etc/php-fpm.conf
nginx -g 'daemon off;'

Then, a PHP script runs Python script using

shell_exec("python ss.py");

This errors with:

ImportError: No module named pandas

I tried various combinations of shell_exec where I tried activating the env before running the script, but it mostly errors out with:

CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'

How do I activate the 'ss' env for all PHP shell_exec scripts?

Answer 1

you can directly use like this.

shell_exec('/root/.conda/envs/my-rdkit-env/bin/python3 ss.py');
