docker build failed after pip installed requirements with exit code 137

Question

I am starting a new django project and want to dockerize the project, on my ubuntu. when I run docker-compose up --build I got a strange Error. It seems that it has problem with pip install requirements.

I have tried to search for the meaning of "exit code 137", most say it is "out of memory" but it doesn't seem like that in my case.

Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.6
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install apt-transport-https
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir pipenv

RUN mkdir /my-django
WORKDIR /my-django
ADD requirements.txt /my-django/

RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'

services:
  db:
    image: postgres:11
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - trkr-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    ports:
      - 11000:5432
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_DB='myDB'
      - POSTGRES_USER='myDB'
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD='myDB'

  web:
    build: .
    restart: on-failure
    container_name: my-django
    image: trkr_web:latest
    volumes:
      - .:/my-django
    env_file:
      - ./.env
    command: python manage.py migrate && python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    depends_on:
      - db

#sepcify volumes
volumes:
  my-data:

when I run make up (I have a Makefile with up: docker-compose up --build), I got the following error message:

Makefile:2: recipe for target 'up' failed

This problem is solved by RUN pip3 install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

Answer 1

I was getting the below error on my windows machine:

Killed ERROR: Service 'kafka-asr' failed to build: The command '/bin/sh -c pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt' returned a non-zero code: 137

After increasing the docker memory the error got resolved.

• Right click on docker -> setting -> Advance

I increased the memory 2304 to 2816 and clicked on Apply.
