We’re wondering if the pants docker_image can use https://depot.dev/ - its supposedly a drop in cli replacement. Is there a way to override the docker command that’s used?

As a silly idea, maybe you could remap the docker executable on system to actually point to depot

I have done exactly this by using podman instead of docker. Easy in that case since it provides a

docker

drop-in shim that is cli compatible.

Maybe using the executable search paths option, you could do that trick

if you search for "docker shim" in this workspace, you'll find previous threads on this topic, such as https://pantsbuild.slack.com/archives/C046T6T9U/p1684159227889179 for instance.

Thanks, i figured it would be some path based trickery.
