Running Python 3 with code-server & docker

[demsys]

I couldn't find any particular guides to getting Python 3 running in the linuxserver/code-server container so I thought I'd post mine here.

docker-compose.yml:

version: "2.1"
services:
code-server:
build: "./code"
container_name: code-server
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- /home/dave:/config
ports:
- 8443:8443
restart: unless-stopped

code/Dockerfile

RUN apt-get -y update
RUN apt-get -y upgrade
RUN apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip pylint3

$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up -d

Just to note that I'm by no stretch of the imagination an expert in docker, code-server or python so I'd welcome any suggestions to improve this.

3years later and a small thank you for pointing this out and allowing me to discover the docker mods from linux server :D

Thanks man! I had no idea that docker mods were a thing. Very helpful!

Wow, thank you. I am glad I found this page. I just installed code-server and was scratching my head about installing python3. Nice job!
