Description

problem

We maintain five docker images and nearly as many text files related to python package requirements for those images (Docker images wiki section). The potential benefits of maintaining this many distinct images and requirements files seems outweighed by the complexity.

To focus this issue on improving DE's work, the more public-facing docker-geosupport image can be excluded from any thoughts/changes here.

questions

  1. Does the build-geosupport image need it's own requirements file?
  2. Why can't all of the images use admin/run_environments/requirement.txt?
  3. Is it important to keep geosupport out of our build-base image?

Research direction

Start with the Docker images wiki section and inspect the image definitions and requirements files, including admin/run_environments/requirement.txt. Compare the build-geosupport and build-base images and determine how their dependencies are maintained. Done means reaching and documenting a clear decision about which images and requirements files should remain, excluding docker-geosupport.
