Hi again, Question regarding deploying source code into docker. Do we need to have pants in the docker image in order to build and run the service ? If yes, is there any standard of how to do it ? If no, how do we build the projects and its dependencies in the image ?

No, you can define a

docker_image

in your BUILD file, and Pants will package your dependencies and include them in the Docker build context so you can

COPY

them with a Dockerfile instruction. See https://github.com/pantsbuild/example-docker for some basic examples.

This is great. that should solve it
