How can I resolve the ImportError: libsqlite3.so.0 when deploying my Python Cloud Function?

I'm deploying a Cloud Function using Python. Locally, the code runs fine and the cloud build job completes successfully, but when I deploy, I encounter an error indicating that the revision is not ready. The error reads:
Revision 'xxxx' is not ready and cannot serve traffic. The user-provided container failed to start and listen on the port defined by the PORT=8080 environment variable within the allocated timeout. This can happen when the container port is misconfigured or if the timeout is too short. The health check timeout can be extended. Logs for this revision might contain more information.
Looking into the logs, I found the following error message:
ImportError: libsqlite3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The issue appears to be that the Python runtime inside the container cannot locate the SQLite shared library, likely due to it not being installed in the image. I've verified that the application is binding to the expected port (8080) and the code runs correctly locally, so I suspect a missing dependency in the container. For example, in a Debian-based Docker image, adding the following line in the Dockerfile might resolve the issue:
DOCKERFILERUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libsqlite3-0
Has anyone encountered this problem or have suggestions on how to ensure that the required SQLite dependency is available in the container?

Based on your error message and the logs, it appears that your container is failing to start because the Python runtime cannot locate the SQLite shared library (libsqlite3.so.0). This issue is usually caused by the container not having the required system dependency installed, even though your code runs locally.
Here are some troubleshooting steps:
-
Update Your Container Image
Ensure that the base image or your Dockerfile installs SQLite. If you're using a Debian-based image, you can add the following line in your Dockerfile to install the library:DOCKERFILERUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libsqlite3-0If you’re on another distribution, adjust the package installation command accordingly.
-
Verify the Container Startup
Since Cloud Run expects your container to listen on the port defined by thePORTenvironment variable (typically port 8080), double-check that your application is binding to that port. The Cloud Run troubleshooting documentation suggests you verify that your container is listening on all network interfaces (e.g., 0.0.0.0) and on the correct port. -
Test Locally
As recommended by the Cloud Run troubleshooting documentation, run your container image locally to see if there are any start-up issues. Confirm that the container can start, bind to the expected port, and does not produce the missing library error:BASHdocker run -e PORT=8080 -p 8080:8080 your-image-name -
Check Deployment Timeouts
If you're still having issues and your container takes longer than expected to start, consider increasing the health check timeout in your Cloud Run settings.
By ensuring that your Dockerfile installs the necessary SQLite dependency and verifying the container listens on the required port, you should be able to resolve the startup issue outlined in your logs.
