# Please note that you will need a lot of RAM dedicated to Docker to build this image (15Gb+, change this in your docker settings)

# Set base image (this also loads the Alpine Linux operating system)

# Update Linux package list and install some key libraries, including latex
RUN apk update && apk add openssl graphviz \

# Install mamba
RUN conda install mamba -n base -c conda-forge

# Ensure pip's setuptools is latest
RUN pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel

# Create the environment:
COPY environment.yml .
# Install everything at once:
RUN mamba env create -f environment.yml
# Do a debug or incremental env install (builds quickly):
# RUN mamba create -n python4DS -c conda-forge python=3.9 numpy pandas -y

# Make RUN commands use the new environment:
SHELL ["conda", "run", "-n", "py4ds2e", "/bin/bash", "-c"]

RUN mamba list

# Copy the current directory contents into the container at /app
COPY . /app

RUN echo "Success building the python4DS container!"
