Build Error <mock requires Python '>=3.6' but the running Python is 2.7.15>

[bcisse]

Hi,

I'm having trouble building the elastalert docker container on Ubuntu 18.04 using the instructions at https://github.com/bitsensor/elastalert. Initial builds failed with same error message mentioned in #147 but even after modifying the dockerfile to have "FROM alpine:3.8 as py-ea" instead of "FROM alpine:latest as py-ea" as recommended, builds are still failing but with a different error:

mock requires Python '>=3.6' but the running Python is 2.7.15
You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 20.0.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
The command '/bin/sh -c sed -i 's/jira>=1.0.10/jira>=1.0.10,<1.0.15/g' setup.py && python setup.py install && pip install -r requirements.txt' returned a non-zero code: 1
Makefile:6: recipe for target 'build' failed
make: *** [build] Error 1

Any help or insight on how to resolve this will be greatly appreciated.

Having the same issue myself on Ubuntu 18.04 after making the change "FROM alpine:latest as py-ea -> FROM alpine:3.8 as py-ea"

Did you have any luck resolving @bcisse ?

I was able to build version v0.2.1 of the elastalert docker image by modifying the dockerfile to install python3 as follows:

*****Dockerfile *****
FROM alpine:latest as py-ea
ARG ELASTALERT_VERSION=v0.2.1
...
CHANGE:
RUN apk add --update --no-cache ca-certificates openssl-dev openssl python2-dev python2 py2-pip py2-yaml libffi-dev gcc musl-dev wget && \

TO:
RUN apk add --update --no-cache ca-certificates openssl-dev openssl python3-dev python3 py3-pip py3-yaml libffi-dev gcc musl-dev wget &&
...
CHANGE:
COPY --from=py-ea /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages

TO:
COPY --from=py-ea /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages

RUN sed -i 's/jira>=1.0.10/jira>=1.0.10,<1.0.15/g' setup.py &&
python3 setup.py install &&
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

When I try to start a container using the image, it fails however after a few seconds. The elastalert indices are created in elasticsearch but container fails shortly after with following error:

In my testing I saw this error a few times. fwiw, I have been using #157 and it works great on python3. I would also prehaps prefer a base ubuntu. See the commits for a possible solution
