Hello Stack overflow community, I am working on running a docker image with GPIO and run into a GPIO runtime error: This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!
When I was running the code, this is what I got:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Voice_control.py", line 7, in <module>
from picar.back_wheels import Back_Wheels
File "/home/app/picar/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/RPi/GPIO/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
from RPi._GPIO import *
RuntimeError: This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!
The environment I used is Raspberry pi4 with the following system info and language info:
Linux basementpi 5.10.17-v7l+ #1421 SMP Thu May 27 14:00:13 BST 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux
Docker version 20.10.7, build f0df350
Python 3.7.3
For the docker image, I have the following system environment:
Linux 0e3ae4f729e1 5.10.17-v7l+ #1421 SMP Thu May 27 14:00:13 BST 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux

Description: Python 3 GPIO module for Raspberry Pi
This is the RPi.GPIO Python 3 module, for supporting GPIO on a
Raspberry Pi
To run the docker image, I have used the following to start the container:
$ docker run --privileged -d <image name>
Since both the docker and system are using raspberry pi and Raspbian system, I cannot diagnose where is the problem. Is there anything else I suppose to check? What else can be the problem here?
Thanks!
