Docker openCV installation Issues

Question

I'm currently trying to run an application using Docker but get the following error message when I start the application:

 error while loading shared libraries: libopencv_highgui.so.4.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I assume that something is going wrong in the docker file and that the installation is not complete or correct. Therefore I have added the section about OpenCV at the end of the post. Did I miss an important step or an error in the dockerfile?

What's "TOOLKITS"? If you could please provide a Dockerfile that can be reproduced on other machines, helping you would be easier — Omer Tuchfeld, Aug 13 '20 at 15:05
@Omer The docker file is relatively large and extensive. I have added the necessary dependencies for openCV here. The whole Dockerfile can be published as well but probably too confusing and not very helpful for troubleshooting. — john-mueller, Aug 13 '20 at 15:08

I was facing the same issue before when installing OpenCV in Docker with Python image. You probably don't need this much dependencies but it's an option. I will have a lightweight version that fits my case. Please give a try for the following code:

Heavy-loaded version:

FROM python:3.7

RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y \
        build-essential \
        cmake \
        git \
        wget \
        unzip \
        yasm \
        pkg-config \
        libswscale-dev \
        libtbb2 \
        libtbb-dev \
        libjpeg-dev \
        libpng-dev \
        libtiff-dev \
        libavformat-dev \
        libpq-dev \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN pip install numpy

WORKDIR /
ENV OPENCV_VERSION="4.1.1"
# install opencv-python from its source 
RUN wget https://github.com/opencv/opencv/archive/${OPENCV_VERSION}.zip \
&& unzip ${OPENCV_VERSION}.zip \
&& mkdir /opencv-${OPENCV_VERSION}/cmake_binary \
&& cd /opencv-${OPENCV_VERSION}/cmake_binary \
&& cmake -DBUILD_TIFF=ON \
  -DBUILD_opencv_java=OFF \
  -DWITH_CUDA=OFF \
  -DWITH_OPENGL=ON \
  -DWITH_OPENCL=ON \
  -DWITH_IPP=ON \
  -DWITH_TBB=ON \
  -DWITH_EIGEN=ON \
  -DWITH_V4L=ON \
  -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF \
  -DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(python3.7 -c "import sys; print(sys.prefix)") \
  -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=$(which python3.7) \
  -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=$(python3.7 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_inc; print(get_python_inc())") \
  -DPYTHON_PACKAGES_PATH=$(python3.7 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib())") \
  .. \
&& make install \
&& rm /${OPENCV_VERSION}.zip \
&& rm -r /opencv-${OPENCV_VERSION}
RUN ln -s \
  /usr/local/python/cv2/python-3.7/cv2.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so \
  /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2.so
RUN apt-get --fix-missing update && apt-get --fix-broken install && apt-get install -y poppler-utils && apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr && \
    apt-get install -y libtesseract-dev && apt-get install -y libleptonica-dev && ldconfig && apt install -y libsm6 libxext6 && apt install -y python-opencv

Lightweight version:

FROM python:3.7 
RUN apt-get update -y 
RUN apt-update && apt install -y libsm6 libxext6

For my case, I ended up using the heavy-loaded version just to save some hassle and both versions should work fine. For your reference, please also see this link and thanks to Neo Anderson's great help.

I also had lots of issues in this process, and found this repository: https://github.com/janza/docker-python3-opencv Clone or download this and add the additional dependencies and files according to your requirement.
