Docker - Cache Python Packages to the Docker Host

Docker best practice:

Cache Python packages to the Docker host by mounting a volume or using BuildKit.

Example Dockerfile:

# Mount volume option
-v $HOME/.cache/pip-docker/:/root/.cache/pip


# BuildKit
# syntax = docker/dockerfile:1.2

...

COPY requirements.txt .

RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pip \
        pip install -r requirements.txt
