02/16/2023, 2:45 PMHey all, I am looking to run Pants within our CI system. We want to run Pants in a docker image. Is there any resources around how to build a docker file for this? I would like to avoid having to download pants each time the CI runs, and cache it in the docker file. I see that releases has the pexes (but I am looking for 2.15.0rc5 in particular).

02/16/2023, 2:58 PMIf you run
./pants --versionhappy-kitchen-89482
02/16/2023, 2:59 PMYou'll have to rebuild the image when you upgrade Pants, but even then it should only need to re-build that last step

02/16/2023, 3:06 PMPants doesn't install a PEX. We release a PEX, but its use case tends to be niche.
