QGIS 2.8 build no longer has qgis executable.

[thadk]

The 2.8.9 and 2.8.4 version (and perhaps the 2.6 version) seems to have a build issue so the qgis executable is not created. I tried the docker-hub version and tried to build my own and saw a similar issue.

I need this for a legacy build so I'm going to keep working around this but if you have any tips, welcome. Maybe worth retiring 2.8 as it doesn't contain qgis.

docker exec -t 9b14520d20d54017b4f12e450f5e28797d0ebce19592d6942fc23fd236c9906f  \
	qgis  \
	 --code /opt/data/rasterScripts/lacPopulationZonalStats.py \
	 --nologo \
		/opt/data/data/shp/continents-levels2-LAC_pop.shp
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "exec: \"qgis\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown

Here is the last error of the build process.

Just for curiosity, why are you using QGIS 2.8? You should pull 2.18 IMHO. (or if it's a very legacy issue, 2.14?)

[thadk]

I have python scripts written that use the zonal statistics processing API and it seems to change after 2.08.

I was able to confirm 2.08.3 on DockerHub still works. I saved a copy of an old Kartoza 2.08.9 build to https://hub.docker.com/r/thadk/qgis-desktop for later use until I can update my script to QGIS3.2+. Thanks for the help.

Overall, thanks for making and upkeeping this kartoza image and enabling my little side project: https://github.com/thadk/PoliticalAtlas

Upvoting as I ran into the same issue, version 2.8 does not have executable. I just need a QGIS 2.X version so I will use the 2.18 as suggested
