Error while running ARA server on Alpine linux

Question

I am trying to install the latest version of the Ansible Records Analyzer server on an alpine Linux I made sure that all requirements are well installed ( Django, GCC,python3, Pypi, ansible) the install went well except for a warning about the absence of root PATH on the PATH variable which I fixed: The warning :

  WARNING: The script pbr is installed in '/root/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.
  Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

The fix:

~ # export PATH=/root/.local/bin:$PATH

So following the install guide on this step that intends to run the server I have an avalanche of errors as if the run command doesn't find the needed components to be executed although I'm sure all the components are installed :

~ # ara-manage runserver
[ara] No setting found for SECRET_KEY. Generating a random key...

    ALLOWED_HOSTS=ALLOWED_HOSTS.to_list(),
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'to_list'

What could be the reason behind this behavior?

Well I managed to overcome this issue, the problem was in dynaconf the current version 3.1.3 doesn't read the conf files properly which fails in the server run.

Meanwhile, the only workaround is to install the previous version of dynaconf :

pip install 'dynaconf==3.1.2'

FYI dynaconf already has a fix proposed for the regression: rochacbruno/dynaconf#541

I've tested that it does resolve this issue and it will be released in dynaconf 3.1.4 soon.
