# 1. Start from a slim Python 3.11 base image
FROM python:3.11-slim

# 2. Set Environment Variables
# - DEBIAN_FRONTEND: Prevents installers from asking interactive questions
# - PYTHONUNBUFFERED/PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE: Standard Python-in-Docker settings
# - PYVISTA_OFF_SCREEN/DISPLAY: Crucial for running PyVista headless (off-screen)
#   by telling it to use a "virtual" display at address :99

# Docker skips this step, making builds much faster.

# 10. Start Command
# This command does two things:
# a) Starts the X Virtual FrameBuffer (Xvfb) in the background (&) on display :99
# b) 'exec' runs your app. Using 'exec' is important as it makes the Python
#    process the main one, which properly handles signals (like stopping the container).
#    '--host 0.0.0.0' is ESSENTIAL to make the server accessible from outside the container.
