restart container tries to install packages again

[hemna]

I have a custom sopel module that I wrote and am using this container to run sopel.
When I restart the container, it tries to re-install my package that I have specified in EXTRA_PYPI_PACKAGES=sopel-modules.tableflip

That results in an error starting the container.
this container should only try to install packages on first run, not on restarts.

pewp    | Installing collected packages: sopel-modules-tableflip
pewp    | ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/sopel/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/sopel_modules.tableflip-0.1.2-py3.8-nspkg.pth'
pewp    | Check the permissions.

pewp exited with code 1```

Currently the container "tries to reinstall" packages on each startup for simplicity. pip should not complain about packages that exist already; instead it should just move on with a simple Requirement already satisifed: ... message with minimal overhead.

Can you provide more details on your setup? I am unable to recreate this issue on a fresh sopelirc/sopel:6.6.9 container with EXTRA_PYPI_PACKAGES=sopel-modules.tableflip with multiple restarts of the same container.

The permission error you show suggests that this may be a result of how you are handling/mounting volumes.

• are you mounting any part, or the whole, sopel user home directory? It definitely makes sense to treat the ~/.sopel directory as a separate volume, but including things that are highly variable, e.g., ~/.local (by mounting the entire home directory) can lead to issues like this.

• did you install a development version of your plugin (e.g., via setup.py install develop or even pip install -e ...) into this container/mounted volume? If so, did you do it as the container's sopel user? If not, did the UID/GID of the other user (external/insider container) match the sopel user in the container?

• did you change owner UID/GID for a mounted volume after the initial container startup? check/update/fix ownership of /home/sopel/.local/lib/python3.8/... in the container (or in your mount source) to match the sopel user in the container

P.S., sorry for the extreme delay in getting to this issue!! 😬
