This PR improves the Docker build process by shifting from building the
project within the Docker image to using pre-built wheels. The main
changes are:
1. **Updated Makefile:**
- **`VERSION` Variable:** Set to `0.1.0.dev0` to reflect the new default
development version.
- **`docker` Target:**
- Added steps to build the Arcade and toolkit wheels before building the
Docker image.
- Exports the required extras (`fastapi`, `evals`) to a
`requirements.txt` file.
- **`full-dist` Target:**
- Builds distributions for the main project and all toolkits.
- Copies all the built wheels to a centralized `./dist` directory.
- **`clean-dist` Target:**
- Cleans build artifacts from `./dist`, `arcade/dist`, and
`toolkits/*/dist` directories.
2. **Modified Dockerfile:**
- **Copy Pre-built Wheels:** Adjusted to copy wheels and the
`requirements.txt` from the `./dist` directory into the Docker image.
- **Installation Process:**
- Installs the Arcade wheel with the necessary extras.
- Installs toolkits from the copied wheel files, eliminating the need to
build them inside the Docker image.
- **Simplification:** Removed unnecessary commands, such as installing
build tools and copying the entire codebase, to streamline the
Dockerfile.
3. **Toolkits `pyproject.toml` Updates:**
- Changed the `arcade-ai` dependency version from `^0.1.0` to `0.1.*` in
all toolkit `pyproject.toml` files to ensure compatibility with the new
versioning scheme.
4. **Docker Makefile Adjustments:**
- Set the `VERSION` variable to `0.1.0.dev0` to align with the main
Makefile.
- Ensures consistent versioning across Docker-related build processes.
**Benefits:**
- **Efficiency:** Building wheels outside the Docker context reduces the
Docker image build time and resource consumption. overall docker image
size reduced by **1Gb**!!!
- **Reliability:** Using pre-built wheels ensures consistency across
different environments and simplifies dependency management.
- **Maintainability:** The Dockerfile and Makefiles are cleaner and more
straightforward, making them easier to understand and maintain.
**Notes:**
- Developers should run `make docker` to build and run the Docker
container using the new process.
- Ensure that any CI/CD pipelines are updated to accommodate these
changes in the build process. @sdreyer
