docker_environment¶
Configuration of a Docker environment used for building your code.
Environment configuration includes both Docker-specific information (including the image and platform choice), as well as environment-aware options (such as environment variables and search paths) used by Pants to execute processes in this Docker environment.
To use this environment, map this target's address with a memorable name in [environments-preview].names. You can then consume this environment by specifying the name in the environment field defined on other targets.
Before running Pants using this environment, if you are using Docker Desktop, make sure the option Enable default Docker socket is enabled, you can find it in Docker Desktop Settings > Advanced panel. That option tells Docker to create a socket at /var/run/docker.sock which Pants can use to communicate with Docker.
Backend: pants.core
tags¶
type: Iterable[str] | None
default: None
Arbitrary strings to describe a target.
For example, you may tag some test targets with 'integration_test' so that you could run pants --tag='integration_test' test :: to only run on targets with that tag.
description¶
type: str | None
default: None
A human-readable description of the target.
Use pants list --documented :: to see all targets with descriptions.
image¶
type: str
required
The docker image ID to use when this environment is loaded.
This value may be any image identifier that the local Docker installation can accept. This includes image names with or without tags (e.g. centos6 or centos6:latest), or image names with an immutable digest (e.g. centos@sha256:<some_sha256_value>).
The choice of image ID can affect the reproducibility of builds. Consider using an immutable digest if reproducibility is needed, but regularly ensure that the image is free of relevant bugs or security vulnerabilities.
platform¶
type: 'linux_arm64' | 'linux_x86_64' | 'macos_arm64' | 'macos_x86_64' | None
default: None
If set, Docker will always use the specified platform when pulling and running the image.
If unset, Pants will default to the CPU architecture of your local host machine. For example, if you are running on Apple Silicon, it will use linux_arm64, whereas running on Intel macOS will use linux_x86_64. This mirrors Docker's behavior when --platform is left off.
fallback_environment¶
type: str | None
default: None
The environment to fallback to when this Docker environment cannot be used because either the global option --docker-execution is false, or the field platform is not compatible with the local host's CPU architecture (this is only an issue when the local host is Linux; macOS is fine).
Must be an environment name from the option [environments-preview].names, the special string __local__ to use the relevant local environment, or the Python value None to error when this specific Docker environment cannot be used.
