pdm-dockerize

Help generating docker image from PDM projects.

Installation

Install pdm-dockerize:

With pipx

If you installed pdm with pipx and want to have the command for all projects:

pipx inject pdm pdm-dockerize

With pip

If you manually installed pdm with pip, just install the extra dependency in the same environment:

pip install pdm-dockerize

With pdm

You can also install it as a standard pdm plugin.

Either globally:

pdm self add pdm-dockerize

Either as a local plugin in your project:

[tool.pdm]
plugins = [
    "pdm-dockerize",
]

Then:

pdm install --plugins

Usage

Just use pdm dockerize in your multistage build:

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
ARG PY_VERSION=3.11

##
# Build stage: build and install dependencies
##
FROM python:${PY_VERSION} AS builder

ARG VERSION=0.dev
ENV PDM_BUILD_SCM_VERSION=${VERSION}

WORKDIR /project

# install PDM
RUN pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
RUN pip install pdm pdm-dockerize

RUN --mount=type=bind,source=pyproject.toml,target=pyproject.toml \
    --mount=type=bind,source=pdm.lock,target=pdm.lock \
    --mount=type=cache,target=$HOME/.cache,uid=$UUID \
    pdm dockerize --prod -v

##
# Run stage: create the final runtime container
##
FROM python:${PY_VERSION} AS runtime

WORKDIR /app

# Fetch built dependencies
COPY --from=builder /project/dist/docker /app
# Copy needed files from your project (filter using `.dockerignore`)
COPY  . /app

ENTRYPOINT ["/app/entrypoint"]
CMD ["your-default-command"]

Selecting scripts

By default, the dockerize command will render a script without any command as it does not select any script by default.

You can select scripts with the include and exclude properties of the tool.pdm.dockerize section. Those properties are optional, can be either a string or list of string. Each string is a fnmatch filter pattern

Dockerize first select script based on the include patterns and then filter-out those matching with any exclude pattern.

Include all scripts

[tool.pdm.dockerize]
include = "*"

Include some specific scripts

[tool.pdm.dockerize]
include = ["my-script", "my-other-script"]

Include all scripts excluding those matching prefix-*

[tool.pdm.dockerize]
include = "*"
exclude = "prefix-*"

Include all scripts matching a prefix but two

[tool.pdm.dockerize]
include = "prefix-*"
exclude = ["prefix-not-you", "prefix-you-neither"]

Selecting binaries

By default, the dockerize command will not copy any python executable provided by your dependencies. You can select binaries with the include_bins and exclude_bins properties of the tool.pdm.dockerize section. Syntax and behavior are exactly the exact sames than include/exclude for script selection.

Include all python executables

[tool.pdm.dockerize]
include_bins = "*"

Include some specific executables

Most of the time, you will look like this

[tool.pdm.dockerize]
include = ["uvicorn"]

Controlling environment

pdm-dockerize respects defined environment variables:

• scripts env variables are properly set
• shared _.env variables are properly set
• scripts env_file are properly loaded
• shared _.env_file are properly loaded

In addition, you can define some docker-only environment variables using the tool.pdm.dockerize.env table or some docker-only .env files using tool.pdm.dockerize.env_file

Defining docker-only environment variables

Those environment variables will only be effective in the docker entrypoint.

[tool.pdm.dockerize.env]
VAR = "value"

Loading docker-only environment files

This file will only be loaded in the docker entrypoint.

[tool.pdm.dockerize]
env_file = "docker.env"

Internals

This plugin works by providing by subclassing some pdm.installers classes to reuse the installation process:

• DockerizeInstallManager, a pdm InstallManager filtering binaries
• DockerizeSynchronizer, a pdm Synchronizer using a DockerizeInstallManager as InstallManager
• FilteringDestination, a pdm InstallDestination filtering binaries

This way, the dockerization is using the same installation process just tuned for docker and augmented with pdm-dockerize specifics.
