How to install openCV for python3.5 on docker (debian:jessie)

Question

I've been struggling for a few days with this, couldn't find the proper way to install OpenCV + python3.5 on debian:jessie docker (I can't use any over base image beside debian:jessie).

I currently trying the tangled monstrosity as you can find deep bellow.

I've based it mostly on many error handling on the way and: https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2017/09/25/configuring-ubuntu-for-deep-learning-with-python/ https://github.com/janza/docker-python3-opencv/blob/master/Dockerfile

I think my issue is the installation of python3.5 and pointing the pip3 for it to be the default, then installing the numpy through it and then the rest. But at this point I'm not sure at all, nor am I sure on how to solve it.

Could really use any help and pointers solving this mess. Thanks.

Given below the Dockerfile to install python3.5 as default with pip and install openCV 3.4.2 in debian:jessie base image. This will resolve your issue.
