09/07/2021, 12:29 PMThere is a experimental docker backend for building images in the upcoming 2.7.0 release (latest is 2.7.0rc2)

09/07/2021, 12:31 PMIt is being actively worked upon to bring you good coverage for your Docker needs.
Documentation is currently being written, too, so it is all rather early.

09/08/2021, 2:07 PMI have a question regarding the package goal with docker.
Is "./pants package src/docker/hw/Dockerfile" this currently the only way to package it or can it also work with "./pants package ::"?
I would require a different channel to provide the path to the Dockerfile, maybe as parameter of the docker_image target?

09/08/2021, 2:10 PM./pants package ::curved-television-6568
09/08/2021, 2:10 PMYou can also use the target address, rather than the path to the Dockerfile.

09/08/2021, 3:20 PMHmm okay I think I was very close to having it run, but I will drop it for now. It complicates the local setup in wsl as well as the CI setup since it requires docker in docker. I think copying the pex file into a docker image is not that much of a hussle š
Thank you very much for you assistance, the experience with this community is exceptional so far.
I am very happy with pants overall so far š
