OCI/Docker Images

Container images are built by running the self-extracting installer during the image build.

Build Behavior

  • Installers are prepared for the requested Linux platforms and staged in the build context.
  • A multi-stage Dockerfile is generated. The first stage holds the installers; the final stage runs the matching installer to materialize the environment at the configured prefix.
  • The image build is multi-platform; each platform run uses its corresponding installer.
  • The resulting image sets CONDA_PREFIX and PATH to the configured prefix.
  • The build output is exported as a multi-architecture OCI archive.
