General
1

i dockerzised a project include:

  • php
  • db
  • python script(in folder src php)

In some function php, i have code like this:

$pythonScriptPath = storage_path('app/python/FaceRecognition.py');
$encodingPath = storage_path('app/models/encodings.txt');
$command = "python $pythonScriptPath encode_images $imagePath $encodingPath $employee_username";
exec($command, $output, $returnVars);

I tried many ways to do it but i get error: /bin/sh: python not found How i can do that? Here is my dockerfile:
