Unable to use sudo commands within Docker, "bash: sudo: command not found" is displayed

I have installed TensorFlow using the following command

docker run -it b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-devel

and I need to set up TensorFlow Serving on a windows machine. I followed the instructions and while running the below-mentioned sudo command while installing TensorFlow Serving dependencies:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y \
     build-essential \
     curl \
     git \
     libfreetype6-dev \
     libpng12-dev \
     libzmq3-dev \
     pkg-config \
     python-dev \
     python-numpy \
     python-pip \
     software-properties-common \
     swig \
     zip \
     zlib1g-dev

The following error is displayed:

bash: sudo: command not found

Solution 1:

docker comes along with root it doesnt require sudo.

BTW if you want sudo in docker if you want to install sudo,

try this,

apt-get update && \
      apt-get -y install sudo

now you can use sudo along with your command in docker...

Solution 2:

Docker images typically do not have sudo, you are already running as root by default. Try

apt-get update && apt-get install -y build-essential curl git libfreetype6-dev libpng12-dev libzmq3-dev pkg-config python-dev python-numpy python-pip software-properties-common swig zip zlib1g-d

If you wish to not run as root, see the Docker documentation on the User command.
