1# First, specify the base Docker image.
2# You can see the Docker images from Apify at https://hub.docker.com/r/apify/.
3# You can also use any other image from Docker Hub.
4FROM apify/actor-python-selenium:3.11

6# Second, copy just requirements.txt into the Actor image,
7# since it should be the only file that affects the dependency install in the next step,
8# in order to speed up the build
9COPY requirements.txt ./
10
11# Install the packages specified in requirements.txt,
12# Print the installed Python version, pip version
13# and all installed packages with their versions for debugging
14RUN echo "Python version:" \
15 && python --version \

17 && pip --version \
18 && echo "Installing dependencies:" \
19 && pip install -r requirements.txt \
20 && echo "All installed Python packages:" \
21 && pip freeze

23# Next, copy the remaining files and directories with the source code.
24# Since we do this after installing the dependencies, quick build will be really fast
25# for most source file changes.

31# Specify how to launch the source code of your Actor.
32# By default, the "python3 -m src" command is run
