Use Pixi to resolve Conda environment

Open pditommaso opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

Wave uses Micromanba-docker to resolve and install Conda packages in the built containers.

Pixi should allows the creation of smaller containers in less time.

The goal of this issue is to implement the support for Pixi as a replacement for Micromamba.

Given Conda environment file, the Container image can be built using the following Dockerfile

FROM ghcr.io/prefix-dev/pixi:0.18.0 AS build

COPY env.yml /app/env.yml
WORKDIR /app

RUN pixi init --import /app/env.yml
RUN pixi add conda-forge::procps-ng

FROM ubuntu:lunar AS release
COPY --from=build /app/.pixi/envs/default /app/.pixi/envs/default
ENV PATH="/app/.pixi/envs/default/bin:$PATH"

The above above approach allows the use of a generic base image for the target container image (in place of ubuntu:lunar)

As a secondary goal, it should be evaluated how to make faster builds using the shared repodata approach as described here.
