Python docker image build time and size #151

Closed solomondefi-dev closed 2 years ago

solomondefi-dev commented 3 years ago

Improve build time and image size of Python app docker images.

Some notes on slow docker build for Python apps.

Currently, pre-built binary packages (wheel) are built from glibc. But alpine is based on musl and it will be regarded as a different platform for pip. Building from source is unavoidable for some packages until PEP656 is employed or a general platform package is available.
Possibly trying bullseye-slim instead of alpine, it seems like with Python, most of the benefits of alpine are lost. There may be other good base images as well.
