    I was getting similar issues working on a local POC of Backstage. The biggest problem was that I needed to install pip, python, mkdocs, and mkdocs-techdocs-core (i.e. pip3 install mkdocs-techdocs-core). If you have done that and then followed everything in this documentation, then it should start working. Hope that helps. I spent a couple of days trying to get past these types of errors.

    For me the above issue is fixed by using below as it was not working inside my container in kubernetes.

    I changed app-config.yaml –

    techdocs:
  builder: 'local' # Alternatives - 'external'
  generator:
    runIn: 'local' // changed from docker to local here
