Title: Error Installing Python Docker Module in Managed Environment
Description:
The installation process fails during the install docker module for Python task due to the error externally-managed-environment. This occurs because the Python environment is marked as externally managed, and direct installations using pip are restricted without using a virtual environment or passing the --break-system-packages flag.
Error Output:
Steps to Reproduce:
Run the make aether-gnbsim-install command as shown in the logs.
Observe the failure during the install docker module for Python task.
Expected Behavior:
The playbook should successfully install the Python docker module without errors.
Actual Behavior:
The task fails with a fatal error, indicating that the Python environment is externally managed.
Solution:
The issue was resolved by creating a Python virtual environment and installing the docker module within it. Here is the updated install.yml playbook snippet:
- name: Create a virtual environment for Pythonansible.builtin.command:
cmd: python3 -m venv /opt/dockerenvwhen: inventory_hostname in groups['gnbsim_nodes']become: true
- name: Install docker module for Python in virtual environmentpip:
name: dockervirtualenv: /opt/dockerenvwhen: inventory_hostname in groups['gnbsim_nodes']become: true
Key Notes:
Using a virtual environment isolates the Python dependencies and avoids conflicts with the system-wide package manager.
This approach complies with the externally-managed-environment restriction in modern Python distributions.
No need to override the restriction (--break-system-packages) or use pipx as additional tools.
Environment:
OS: Ubuntu (specific version can be added)
Python Version: Python 3.12
Ansible Version: Provide the version used
Playbook File: install.yml
Additional Updates:
The remaining tasks (such as pulling the Docker image and setting up user permissions) worked as expected without further modifications.
