Is it reasonable to take the python package approach (as opposed to GRPC server within docker container) when running Dagit, the dagster-daemon and Postgres within docker containers configured via docker-compose.yml ?

https://docs.dagster.io/deployment/guides/docker#mounting-volumes has tips for updating code without needing to rebuild the container (you do need to restart it still though). Using python_package doesnt really change when you would need to rebuild the container I don’t think.

@Daniel I haven't found a better way to update the pipeline definitions than a full

docker-compose up --build

Is it possible to update the definitions via the restart of a single container? dagster_daemon or dagster_pipelines? I have read through the docs but couldn't find anything that specifically referenced the update process.

Yeah, you only need to restart dagster_pipelines - the other containers don’t access your code directly

@daniel sorry those questions were a little lazy of me, should have been able to crack that myself. Just wanted to say a huge thanks for all your help and work on dagster in general. It's a great tool and community. Hoping to get to the point I can contribute a bit back.
