Troubleshooting & FAQ (1)
TroubleshootingWhy does the xandikos Docker container fail with 'ModuleNotFoundError: No module named xandikos'?
The Containerfile relies on the 'ADD . /code' instruction to copy the entire xandikos repository into the container. If you build the image without the repository files (e.g., by copying the Containerfile alone to another directory), the xandikos package is missing. Build the image from the repository root directory: run docker build -t xandikos . or podman build -t xandikos . inside the cloned repository.
