For compatibility, I need to use this old image but even after installing software-properties-common both commands are not found: apt-add-repository or add-apt-repository All I could find was to install software-properties-common but that does not help either.

FROM ubuntu:precise

Set environment variables to avoid interactive prompts during package installation


ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive


RUN sed -i 's/archive.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list


Update package lists and install basic packages


RUN apt-get update && 

    apt-get upgrade -y && 

    apt-get install -y 

    sudo 

    curl 

    vim 

    wget 

    git 

    nano 

    software-properties-common 

    build-essential && 

    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*


Start a shell by default when the container starts


CMD ["/bin/bash"]

By chance, I saw this answer after a minute of posting my question: https://askubuntu.com/a/593437/909989 Basically, for older releases python-software-properties needs to be installed.
