Official Docker containers?

Feature Request

I’m curious if official docker containers could be created (automated via Github actions).

Of course it’s easy to install Poetry in a Dockerfile using get-poetry.py, but I see two issues:

1. Everyone has to write the boilerplate to install Poetry. Using an official container would remove this boilerplate.
2. get-poetry.py installs the latest version of Poetry and doesn’t appear to have a flag for selecting the version. It’s good practice for Docker containers have reproducible builds, and this instability in Poetry version prevents that. An official container could pin the Poetry version and allow for reproducible builds.

For context I’d like to use Poetry in a Docker container to export the requirments.txt, since it’s error-prone and troublesome to manually keep that export up to date and it’s redundant information when we have pyproject.toml and poetry.lock.

I’m actually surprised there are not already official Poetry Docker containers, so I’m wondering if this might be an intentional decision. On the other hand if this sound like a good idea, I can volunteer to work on a PR for it.

Hi everyone,

I created repository aiming this purpose https://github.com/mateusoliveira43/docker-image-poetry I tried to follow the style of the Python Docker Image repository. The Image is already in Docker Hub https://hub.docker.com/r/mateusoliveira43/poetry (if you want a specific version of Poetry/Python that is not there yet, just open a issue there, and we can add it 😄)

I would be happy to help to create an official Poetry Image 😃
