pixi-kernel not detecting pixi

[benwilks]

Hi, I'm struggling to get pixi-kernel to work on my setup. I have jupyterhub with docker-spawner that spins up a container when a user logs in. After adding pixi and pixi-kernel to the container and restarting it, I can see pixi python and R kernels in the launcher but when I try to run any code cells I get the following error:

Pixi was not detected in your system.
Please, follow the steps below to install Pixi:
1. Visit the Pixi installation guide at https://pixi.sh/.
2. Verify Pixi was installed by running 'which pixi' in your terminal.
3. Restart JupyterLab.

If you continue to face issues, report them at https://github.com/renan-r-santos/pixi-kernel/issues

However, pixi (version 0.39.5) works in the terminal and which pixi yields /home/jovyan/.pixi/bin/pixi

Hi, thanks for the bug report.

I have jupyterhub with docker-spawner that spins up a container when a user logs in.

Could you share the Dockerfile you're using for this container? If not, a minimum Dockerfile reproducing the issue would be great.
You could also try using one of the official Pixi docker images as the base image of your container, e.g. ghcr.io/prefix-dev/pixi:0.39.5-jammy, see https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi-docker/pkgs/container/pixi.
