How to Fix "E: Unable to Locate Package google-chrome-stable" Error While Building a Docker Image
If you try to build a containerised Web scraping tool using Python, Selenium and Beautiful Soup on Apple M1 Pro, you might encounter the following issue while building the Dockerfile:
=> [ 3/11] COPY . /app 0.0s
=> [ 4/11] RUN wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - 0.9s
=> [ 5/11] RUN sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google. 0.2s
=> ERROR [ 6/11] RUN apt-get update -qqy --no-install-recommends && apt-get install -qqy --no-install-recommends googl 3.6s
------
> [ 6/11] RUN apt-get update -qqy --no-install-recommends && apt-get install -qqy --no-install-recommends google-chrome-stable:
#10 3.592 E: Unable to locate package google-chrome-stable
------
executor failed running [/bin/sh -c apt-get update -qqy --no-install-recommends && apt-get install -qqy --no-install-recommends google-chrome-stable]: exit code: 100
Assuming that you are using the traditional Dockerfile that reads:
FROM python:3.9
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
RUN wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
RUN sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'
RUN apt-get update -qqy --no-install-recommends && apt-get install -qqy --no-install-recommends google-chrome-stable
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade pip
WORKDIR /app
COPY ./requirements.txt /app/requirements.txt
RUN pip3 install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
COPY . .
CMD tail -f /dev/null
CMD python3 scraper.py
To fix this issue, just modify the first line of the Dockerfile and add --platform=linux/amd64 entry.
FROM --platform=linux/amd64 python:3.9
Now you should be able to build the Docker image successfully
docker build -t ajeetraina/scraperhubb .
