DockerFile issue when building the docker image

[felixchan68]

Hi,

I try to build the docker image using the command
docker build -t "rvc" .

The build fails and error message below:

ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/bash -c pip install --no-cache-dir "poetry==1.7.1" && poetry config virtualenvs.create false && poetry install --no-interaction --no-root && poetry cache clear --all ." did not complete successfully: exit code: 1

Any hints or update version for the docker file? Thank you very much.

More specifically pkg-config could not find libraries ['avformat', 'avcodec', 'avdevice', 'avutil', 'avfilter', 'swscale', 'swresample'] (arm64) and on amd64 it complains about AV_CODEC_CAP_OTHER_THREADS being undeclared

[tqk2811]

add this to Dockerfile (amd64)

RUN mkdir -p /opt/ffmpeg && \
    wget -q https://github.com/tqk2811/FFmpeg-Builds/releases/download/Release/ffmpeg-n6.1.3-1-ge33b4d8ad6-linux64-gpl-shared-6.1.tar.xz -O /tmp/ffmpeg.tar.xz && \

@tqk2811

Thanks, but still got the same error:

Is there anyway to fix the DockerFile in git to make it work? I try to perform using custom nvidia + python in docker container install but no luck since RVC only support python < 3.12, and find out lots of issues during the docker build process.

@felixchan68 take this one and modify as needed (tested only on arm64)

# 2) Patch pyproject to bump av

# 3) Install the project

RUN python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel && \
    pip install .

# 4) Add rvc to PATH
ENV PATH=/home/user/.local/bin:${PATH}

ENTRYPOINT ["rvc"]

P.S. post more of the error in the future, you only posted the Dockerfile command that went wrong not why, though I suspect it's AV issues

Example from Dockerfile in this repo using docker build --progress=plain:

Context - av deleted their wheels for version 11 (due to pypi limitations) that's why it suddenly broke

@sebi2306 Thank you very much and its amazingly work. The docker image can be successfully built.

Unfortunitely I experienced another issue. I simply try to execute the rvc but error message comes out. Did I make any mistakes?

docker run -it --name rvc --gpus all -p 8000:8000 -v ./data/assets/weights:/weights:ro -v ./data/assets/indices:/indices:ro -v ./data/assets/audios:/audios rvc infer -m /weights/egirl.pth -i /audios/test.wav -o /audios/test_out.wav -if /indices/egirl.index
