Unable to run docker-compose build without error

[kaburelabs]

Hello guys, I would like to get some support on how to run this project;

I have cloned it and tried to run it locally by running docker-compose build but I'm facing a problem when it reaches the below part inside the updater Dockerfile

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install r-base r-cran-forecast

$ docker-compose build

So, it will start downloading the package and after it will raise a error:

Does someone have faced this too?
How can I solve it?
I did a lot of searches but I'm not finding anything that helped... Have also tried GitHub copilot without success... Would appreciate it a lot if someone could provide support with this issue

Hi @kaburelabs, thanks for your interest! It looks like problem is an incompatibility with the python:3.9-bullseye container and dependencies in r-base, which have been updated. Switching the image to python:3.9-bookworm should fix the problem and I'm updating the repo now.
