How to install and use system level dependencies in functions environment ?
I am trying to write a video transcoding pipeline using appwrite functions. The issue i am encountering is that the functions are being executed in an isolated environment despite using build commands for installing few command line utilities.
These utilities are not retained in the env and need to be installed again during execution
How can i use a custom docker file for function execution environment or any other workaround to use them without having to install them at runtime ?
TL;DR
Developers want to install system level dependencies in functions environment for a video transcoding pipeline. Dependencies are not retained and need to be re-install at runtime. To use custom docker file for function execution environment, try specifying the required dependencies in the docker file, so they are available when the function runs.
