theclocktwister/raspbian-python repository overview

⁠Python 3 (3.7.3) for Raspberry Pi 4

This image is used to dockerize Python applications on Raspberry Pi hardware. Using this image, you will be able to use:

• Raspbian Buster (required for a Raspberry Pi 4)
• The native Raspberry Pi camera
• The Raspberry GPIO header

⁠Using GPIO header from inside the container

To access the host's GPIO header, you will need to passthrough the GPIO I/O device into the container with this flag:

--device /dev/gpiomem:/dev/gpiomem

⁠Source Dockerfile

If, for some reason, you need to change/rebuild this image on your own, here's the original Dockerfile:

FROM theclocktwister/raspbian-buster:latest
WORKDIR /root
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip
RUN ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
RUN ln -s /usr/bin/pip3 /usr/bin/pip
RUN pip install colorama pillow picamera RPi.GPIO
