I'm trying to download a Debian package inside a Ubuntu container as follows:
sudo docker run ubuntu:14.04 wget https://downloads-packages.s3.amazonaws.com/ubuntu-14.04/gitlab_7.8.2-omnibus.1-1_amd64.deb
I get
exec: "wget": executable file not found in $PATH
I've already installed wget
with docker as follows:
run ubuntu:14.04 apt-get install wget
How can I download a file?
If you're running ubuntu container directly without a local Dockerfile you can ssh into the container and enable root control by entering su
then apt-get install -y wget
I had this problem recently where apt install wget
does not find anything. As it turns out apt update
was never run.
apt update
apt install wget
After discussing this with a coworker we mused that apt update
is likely not run in order to save both time and space in the docker image.
