I ran Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL as docker-compose, but it doesn't work with these errors.
I don't know why this error occurs.
Full Error Message:

It's a bit hard to figure out the issue with just the stack trace but I'll give it a shot.

You are using relative imports and it looks like all your files are in the root folder. I suggest using only absolute imports as a rule and importing only the parts of the code that you need instead of entire files.

So, instead of doing:

from . import crud, etc, etc

You can do:

from crud import [whatever you need] from models import [whatever you need] Etc

What is important is that you understand what the pythonpath is and how to structure your code around it.

Thanks to you, I solved the problem!

No problem, glad to hear!

You might want to consider putting all your python code into a 'src' folder, it's a good practice to have only the files you need inside the docker container and that makes it so you can just build it with the entire folder.

Outside of the src folder you'd keep your docker files, dependencies and such.

This error occurs when you try to import a module using a relative import, but Python cannot find the module's parent package.A relative import is a way to import a module that is located in the same package or module as the importing module.

To fix this error "Attempted relative import with no known parent package", ensure you have a proper package structure in your project, which includes an init.py file in each directory you want to treat as a package. Verify that the directory containing your main script (the one you run) is included in the Python path (sys.path). If you prefer not to use packages, consider using absolute imports by specifying the full path to the module you want to import. Alternatively, reorganize your project structure to adhere to a clear package structure for relative imports to work correctly.
