chore: Use --no-cache-dir flag to pip in Dockerfiles, to save space #386

Open Rajpratik71 opened 3 years ago

Rajpratik71 commented 3 years ago

Using "--no-cache-dir" flag in pip install ,make sure dowloaded packages by pip don't cached on system . This is a best practise which make sure to fetch ftom repo instead of using local cached one . Further , in case of Docker Containers , by restricing caching , we can reduce image size. In term of stats , it depends upon the number of python packages multiplied by their respective size . e.g for heavy packages with a lot of dependencies it reduce a lot by don't caching pip packages.

Further , more detail information can be found at
