I'm trying to run my actor & it's giving this log:

I built this actor & could run it earlier successfully, but I got this after the last build. Here's my Dockerfile:

# First, specify the base Docker image.
# You can see the Docker images from Apify at https://hub.docker.com/r/apify/.
# You can also use any other image from Docker Hub.
FROM apify/actor-python:3.13

# Second, copy just requirements.txt into the Actor image,
# since it should be the only file that affects the dependency install in the next step,
# in order to speed up the build
COPY requirements.txt ./

# Install the packages specified in requirements.txt,
# Print the installed Python version, pip version
# and all installed packages with their versions for debugging
RUN echo "Python version:" \
 && python --version \
 && echo "Pip version:" \
 && pip --version \
 && echo "Installing dependencies:" \
 && pip install -r requirements.txt \
 && echo "All installed Python packages:" \
 && pip freeze

# Next, copy the remaining files and directories with the source code.
# Since we do this after installing the dependencies, quick build will be really fast
# for most source file changes.
COPY . ./

# Use compileall to ensure the runnability of the Actor Python code.
RUN python3 -m compileall -q .

# Create and run as a non-root user.
RUN useradd --create-home apify && \
    chown -R apify:apify ./
USER apify

# Specify how to launch the source code of your Actor.
# By default, the "python3 -m ." command is run
CMD ["python3", "-m", "src"]

# First, specify the base Docker image.
# You can see the Docker images from Apify at https://hub.docker.com/r/apify/.
# You can also use any other image from Docker Hub.
FROM apify/actor-python:3.13

# Second, copy just requirements.txt into the Actor image,
# since it should be the only file that affects the dependency install in the next step,
# in order to speed up the build
COPY requirements.txt ./

# Install the packages specified in requirements.txt,
# Print the installed Python version, pip version

RUN echo "Python version:" \
 && python --version \
 && echo "Pip version:" \
 && pip --version \
 && echo "Installing dependencies:" \
 && pip install -r requirements.txt \
 && echo "All installed Python packages:" \
 && pip freeze

# Next, copy the remaining files and directories with the source code.
# Since we do this after installing the dependencies, quick build will be really fast
# for most source file changes.
COPY . ./

# Use compileall to ensure the runnability of the Actor Python code.
RUN python3 -m compileall -q .

# Create and run as a non-root user.
RUN useradd --create-home apify && \
    chown -R apify:apify ./
USER apify

# Specify how to launch the source code of your Actor.
# By default, the "python3 -m ." command is run
CMD ["python3", "-m", "src"]

I tried changing this line in dockefile as apify AI suggested:

COPY . ./

COPY . ./

with:

COPY --chown=apify:apify . ./

COPY --chown=apify:apify . ./

But same error. I don't understand where the real error originates & how to resolve it?

@🟢mido🟢 add this line in your Dockfile , after pip install command

python src/download_browserforge_files.py

python src/download_browserforge_files.py

@axly Hi Please where've you put download_browserforge_files.py ? I added it to my src/ but can't find it when building:

python: can't open file '/usr/src/app/src/download_browserforge_files.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

python: can't open file '/usr/src/app/src/download_browserforge_files.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I'm running the file after copying all files & directories so it should work:

# Install the packages specified in requirements.txt,
# Print the installed Python version, pip version
# and all installed packages with their versions for debugging
RUN echo "Python version:" \
 && python --version \
 && echo "Pip version:" \
 && pip --version \
 && echo "Installing dependencies:" \
 && pip install -r requirements.txt \
 && echo "All installed Python packages:" \
 && pip freeze

# Next, copy the remaining files and directories with the source code.
# Since we do this after installing the dependencies, quick build will be really fast
# for most source file changes.
COPY . ./

# Download browserforge
RUN python src/download_browserforge_files.py

# Install the packages specified in requirements.txt,
# Print the installed Python version, pip version
# and all installed packages with their versions for debugging
RUN echo "Python version:" \
 && python --version \
 && echo "Pip version:" \
 && pip --version \
 && echo "Installing dependencies:" \
 && pip install -r requirements.txt \
 && echo "All installed Python packages:" \
 && pip freeze

# Next, copy the remaining files and directories with the source code.
# Since we do this after installing the dependencies, quick build will be really fast
# for most source file changes.
COPY . ./

# Download browserforge
RUN python src/download_browserforge_files.py

Just copy it to src folder in your project

frozen-sapphireOP•3mo ago

I swear it's there 😦 anyway thank you for help I'll check it out later

frozen-sapphireOP•2mo ago

Good news: there was a typo extra 's' in this command, filename is download_browserforge_file Bad news: still getting the same permission error after building & running:

Error downloading input-network.zip: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/apify_fingerprint_datapoints/data/input-network.zip'

Error downloading input-network.zip: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/apify_fingerprint_datapoints/data/input-network.zip'

if anyone with same issue please help

optimistic-gold•2mo ago

you should switch to root when run the python code. and switch back to normal user at end of the dockfile

frozen-sapphireOP•2mo ago

Thank you so much finally it worked! for any one facing same issue I just had to copy files again after running download_browserforge_file.py like that in Dockerfile:

# Next, copy the remaining files and directories with the source code.
# Since we do this after installing the dependencies, quick build will be really fast
# for most source file changes.
COPY . ./
# Download browserforge
RUN python src/download_browserforge_file.py
COPY . ./

# Next, copy the remaining files and directories with the source code.
# Since we do this after installing the dependencies, quick build will be really fast
# for most source file changes.
COPY . ./
# Download browserforge
RUN python src/download_browserforge_file.py
COPY . ./
