Feature request

It would be great to propose an easy way to mount config files like .netrc before installing deps from a requirements.txt file

Motivation

I am not able to install packages from a private PYPI.

I can provide environment variable in my bentofile.yaml and a requirements.txt file but I can not mount my .netrc file.

The only way to install from a private PyPI is to put the .netrc file in the include section of the bentofile.yaml, it will be copied in /src folder. Then in the Dockerfile.template I copy it to /home/bentoml, and lastly pip install my package from my private PyPI, which is not great.

You need to add this to index_url to https://docs.bentoml.com/en/latest/concepts/bento.html#python-options-table in the bentofile.yaml.

Thanks for your answer @aarnphm . I can provide the extra index url in index_url but not mount the .netrc file I think

If you want to mount a .netrc you can do it on the container.

Not sure how it would work in kubernetes tho. probably better to use secrets in kubernetes.
