Bitbucket Pipeline "docker: command not found"

[Luigi Loria]

After following the article "Run Docker commands in Bitbucket Pipelines" I came up with this sample pipeline I'm trying to build for a Python repository.

image:

   name: python:3.10-slim

pipelines:

  branches:

   '**':

     - step:

         name: Test Docker Commands

         runs-on:

            - 'self.hosted'

            - 'docker'

            - 'linux'

         services:

            - docker

         script:

            - export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1

            - docker version

definitions:

  services:

     docker:

        memory: 2048

 But I get the following error:

bash: docker: command not found

Is there something I'm missing or misunderstood? Thank you in advance

Hi @Luigi Loria 

The reason that you are seeing this error message is that docker is not included as part of the build image you are using (python:3.10-slim), I've tested this by running the image locally and attempting to perform docker commands and received the same error message:

> docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/sh python:3.10-slim
> docker info
/bin/sh: 1: docker: not found

You will need to first install Docker as part of your script before attempting to run Docker commands (or use a different build image that includes Docker).

We have documentation that covers this in greater detail that you may find below:
