I am on this article (/) to Dockerize a Django App
I have playwright==1.50.0
in my requirements.txt
post pip install
one has to do playwright install
which can follow after
# Install Python dependencies
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
But how do I know this alone is enough to have the browser(s) copied to the Stage 2 (production) build?
Code under "Make improvements to the Dockerfile"
# Copy the Python dependencies from the builder stage
COPY --from=builder /usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ /usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/
COPY --from=builder /usr/local/bin/ /usr/local/bin/
Where do the browsers get installed to on performing playwright install
?
EDIT (included the Dockerfile code) :
# Stage 1: Base build stage
FROM python:3.13 AS builder
# Create the app directory
RUN mkdir /app
# Set the working directory
WORKDIR /app
# Set environment variables to optimize Python
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
# Upgrade pip and install dependencies
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
# Copy the requirements file first (better caching)
COPY requirements.txt /app/
# Install Python dependencies
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
RUN playwright install
# Stage 2: Production stage
FROM python:3.13
RUN useradd -m -r appuser && \
mkdir /app && \
chown -R appuser /app
# Copy the Python dependencies from the builder stage
COPY --from=builder /usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ /usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/
COPY --from=builder /usr/local/bin/ /usr/local/bin/
# Set the working directory
WORKDIR /app
# Copy application code
COPY --chown=appuser:appuser . .
# Set environment variables to optimize Python
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
# Switch to non-root user
USER appuser
# Expose the application port
EXPOSE 8000
# Start the application using Gunicorn
CMD ["gunicorn", "--bind", "0.0.0.0:8000", "--workers", "3", "nerul.wsgi:application"]
# CMD ["python", "manage.py", "runserver", "0.0.0.0:8000"]
I have RUN playwright install
right after RUN pip install
.
