Dockerfile

# Dockerfile to build the matrixdotorg/synapse docker images.
#
# Note that it uses features which are only available in BuildKit - see
# https://docs.docker.com/go/buildkit/ for more information.
#
# To build the image, run `docker build` command from the root of the
# synapse repository:
#
#    DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -f docker/Dockerfile .
#
# There is an optional PYTHON_VERSION build argument which sets the
# version of python to build against: for example:
#
#    DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -f docker/Dockerfile --build-arg PYTHON_VERSION=3.10 .
#

# Irritatingly, there is no blessed guide on how to distribute an application with its
# poetry-managed environment in a docker image. We have opted for
# `poetry export | pip install -r /dev/stdin`, but there are known bugs in
# in `poetry export` whose fixes (scheduled for poetry 1.2) have yet to be released.
# In case we get bitten by those bugs in the future, the recommendations here might
# be useful:
#     https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/discussions/1879#discussioncomment-216865

# We install poetry in its own build stage to avoid its dependencies conflicting with
# synapse's dependencies.
# We use a specific commit from poetry's master branch instead of our usual 1.1.12,
# to incorporate fixes to some bugs in `poetry export`. This commit corresponds to
#    https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/pull/5156 and
#    https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/5141 ;
# without it, we generate a requirements.txt with incorrect environment markers,
# which causes necessary packages to be omitted when we `pip install`.
#
# NB: In poetry 1.2 `poetry export` will be moved into a plugin; we'll need to also
# pip install poetry-plugin-export (https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry-plugin-export).
