Problem with using pip3 to install docker-compose in Raspian bookworm

[ctphrs]

I've had some issues when installing internet monitoring on the debian bookworm (64 bit-light) version of Raspian, but have had no issues on the legacy debian bullseye (64 bit-light) version of raspian. I kept getting an externally managed environment error whenever using pip3 to install things. I used the --break-system-packages tag when installing ansible but the same did not work for installing docker-compose and I ended up changing the docker.yml task to use apt instead to get around this. see the error message I was getting below.

TASK [Install Docker Compose using Pip.] **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": ["/usr/bin/pip3", "install", "docker-compose"], "msg": "\n:stderr: error: externally-managed-environment\n\n× This environment is externally managed\n╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install\n    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to\n    install.\n    \n    If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,\n    create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.\n    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip.

But while everything works now I cant help but think there must be a more graceful solution, and I also don't understand what would've changed in the new version of Raspian to cause this. Any insight into how to make pip3 work or if I should just change to using apt would be greatly appreciated.

same.
on raspos 64bit lite
on pip3 install insible
I also got the error about breaking packages and system wide installation.
I tried using pip env, that meant ansible could install inside the pip env,

then on ansible-playbook main.yml
i got the docker error above. I am out of time now, I will have to come back to it next week.

The solution I found was to change the docker.yml file to use ansible.builtin.apt: when installing docker-compose instead of ansible.builtin.pip: and remove the executable line that calls for pip3.

super helpful thanks.

So I know what to look for, what was it in the error message that told you this?

This Solution also helps me. Thx

That worked for me. I was looking in https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi/issues for a solution but ended up finding it here.
