Run Django in docker container with GDAL

Question

I am currently trying to run a Django project inside a docker container, to provide the project with a local DB.

The Project is depending on GDAL, but when trying to install the requirements it always runs into the same problem. The following is my dockerfile:

RUN apt-get update

RUN apt-get install -y wget && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN wget \
    https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh \
    && mkdir /root/.conda \
    && bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -b \
    && rm -f Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
RUN conda --version

RUN conda create -n gdal_test python=3.9
RUN activate gdal_test
RUN conda install gdal

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get -y install gcc

COPY requirements.txt requirements.txt
RUN python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

My requirements.txt is as following:

asgiref==3.3.1

The Error message I get is always:

#17 35.55   ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

I am running out of solutions.

Thx in advance.

I found the problem. The conda install fixed the GDAL problem. BUT. When installing requirements.txt, GDAL got installed a second time and this caused the error, since the normal pip install is not working properly with GDAL.
