title: "[BUG]: PYTHONPATH=/app/src breaks api imports inside Docker"
labels: bug
assignees: ''

⚡️ Describe the Bug

Both the Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml set:

PYTHONPATH=/app/src

This places only the contents of src/ on Python’s path.
The api/ folder is located at the project root, not inside src/, so imports like:

from api.routes import templates

fail inside Docker with ModuleNotFoundError.

Local runs work because pytest.ini sets pythonpath = ., making environments inconsistent.

---

👣 Steps to Reproduce

1. Run:
   make build && make up

2. Inside container:
   python -c "from api.main import app"

3. Observe ModuleNotFoundError.

---

📉 Expected Behavior

Both src.* and api.* imports should work identically in local and Docker environments.

---

🖥️ Environment Information

• OS: Docker container
• Docker/Compose Version: Any
• Ollama Model used: N/A

---

📸 Screenshots/Logs

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'api'

---

🕵️ Possible Fix

Set:

ENV PYTHONPATH=/app

instead of /app/src in both Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml.
