sudo: command not found about docker HOT 2 CLOSED

What if you add RUN chown odoo /mnt/extra-addons to the Dockerfile and try scaffolding without sudo? If that works, you could make a pull request.

from docker.

The error happens because the binary you are trying to call from command line is only part of the current user's PATH variable, but not a part of root user's PATH.

You can verify this by locating the path of the binary you are trying to access. In my case I was trying to call "bettercap-ng". So I ran,

$ which bettercap-ng

output: /home/user/work/bin/bettercap

I checked whether this location is part of my root user's PATH.

$ sudo env | grep ^PATH

output: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin

So sudo cannot find the binary that I am trying to call from commandline. Hence returns the error command not found.

You can direct sudo to use the current user's PATH when calling a binary like below.

$ sudo -E env "PATH=$PATH" [command] [arguments]

In fact, one can make an alias out of it:

$ alias mysudo='sudo -E env "PATH=$PATH"'

It's also possible to name the alias itself sudo, replacing the original sudo.
