Hi all, I’m using a

docker_environment

in order to build a linux compatible image from my MacOS dev machine.

[environments-preview.names]
linux = "//:linux"
macos = "//:macos"
docker = "//:docker"

docker_environment(
    name="docker",
    platform="linux_arm64",
    image="base",
    python_bootstrap_search_path=["<PATH>"],
)

docker_image(
    name="base",
    instructions=[
        "FROM --platform=linux/arm64 python:3.11-slim",
        "RUN apt update && apt install -y gcc libpq-dev",
    ],
)

I’ve got a service / pex_binary that uses this docker_environment

pex_binary(
    name="gunicorn",
    entry_point="gunicorn",
    args=["services.a.app.app:create_app()"],
    dependencies=["./app", ":files"],
    environment=parametrize("linux", "macos"),
)

Is there any way to add my base image as a dependency of

docker_environment

? I.e.

docker_environment(
    image=":base",
    ...
)

docker_image(
    name="base",
    ....
)

Right now I have to first do

pants package:base

before running

pants package services/a:gunicorn

Currently no, it’s tracked by this issue: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/17714

Thanks Andreas, I’ll track that issue.
