Gimp won't run on cloud run but works from local dockers image

Question

As the title states, I'm trying to run gimp through a Node.js docker image. I have this working locally, however I get the following error trying to run gimp commands while it is being deployed on google cloud run:

GIMP-Warning: The batch interpreter 'plug-in-script-fu-eval' is not available. Batch mode disabled.

The line of code that triggers this error:

exec('gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i --verbose -d -f -b 'MY COMMAND', {env:process.env})

The odd thing mostly being that it runs completely fine locally. My dockerfile:

FROM debian:latest
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY . .
RUN apt-get update 
RUN apt-get install -y gimp --no-install-recommends 
RUN apt-get install -y python
RUN rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get -qq install curl
RUN apt-get install -y aptitude
RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | bash - && apt-get install -y nodejs && aptitude install -y npm
RUN apt-get update
RUN npm install
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["npm", "start"]

Any idea why it might work locally but not while being deployed?

Answer 1

The fix was to change the cloud run container's Execution environment from "Default" to "Second Generation"

If you don't specify an interpreter, Gimp uses the default interpreter (which is script-fu), and it works all the same:

(by the way, --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval doesn't work in the local container for me...)
