deps-rocker 0.1.3

A rocker plugin to help installing apt and pip dependencies

deps_rocker

This is a rocker extension for automating dependency installation. The aim is to allow a projects to define its development dependencies in a deps.yaml file which are added to the rocker container. The extension will recursivly search for deps.yaml files and run the install commands in several layers.

Layer order:

• env

• scripts_tools

• apt_tools

• pip_tools

• scripts_base

• apt_base

• pip_base

• scripts

• apt

• pip

• pyproject_toml #reads from all pyproject.toml files

• scripts_post

If rocker is used to launch from a folder that contains multple projects with deps.yaml it will create a container to enable development of all of them combined together.

example deps.yaml

env:
  - BASIC_ENV_VAR=1

apt_tools: #install basic development tools which almost never change
  - git
  - git-lfs
  - python3-pip

pip_tools: #install basic development tools which almost never change
  - pip #this updates pip to latest version
  - flit
  - pytest
  - ruff

pip: #project pip dependencies that may change on a more regular basis
  - pyyaml

run with:

rocker --deps-dependencies ubuntu:22.04

limitations/TODO

This has only been tested on the ubuntu base image. It assumes you have access to apt-get.
