From d209d9a3b3fc3431a1198c64687bdb2e15e8a63c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pratik Raj Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2024 20:07:43 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] feat : use "PIP_NO_CACHE_DIR" env with pip in dockerfiles to save space (#2068) using the "PIP_NO_CACHE_DIR" env with pip install, make sure downloaded packages by pip don't cache on the system. This is a best practice that makes sure to fetch from a repo instead of using a local cached one. Further, in the case of Docker Containers, by restricting caching, we can reduce image size. In terms of stats, it depends upon the number of python packages multiplied by their respective size. e.g for heavy packages with a lot of dependencies it reduces a lot by don't cache pip packages.
