How to use python3 inside openjdk Docker base?

Question

I am trying to Dockerize a system where I should run bash script, which calls python3 script and then jar file. But openjdk Docker base doesn't come with python, and its container doesn't seem to support ubuntu based apt-get install commands. Any suggestions ?

Suggestion: create your own docker container. (Start by reading the generic documentation on how to do it ...). Note that this is not really a [java] or [python] or [python-3.x] at all. It is really about how to create your own docker containers. (Or how to manually install extra stuff into an existing container ... which is probably a bad idea.) — Stephen C

You just need to use the java container based on buster instead of buster-slim. openjdk:buster

To test it run the following

docker run -it openjdk:buster /bin/bash
apt update
apt -y upgrade
apt -y install python3
