About:
pixi-pack is a utility that packages a conda environment, created with the pixi package manager, into a portable archive. This archive can be transferred and deployed to other machines without requiring a network connection or the pixi tool itself. It streamlines the process of distributing reproducible Python and conda-based application environments for production or offline scenarios.
Key Features:
  • Creates portable, self-contained environment archives
  • Enables offline deployment of pixi environments
  • Simple pack and unpack commands for easy distribution
  • Preserves exact package versions and dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Deploying applications to air-gapped or secure production servers
  • Sharing reproducible development environments with team members
  • Creating distributable artifacts for CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • conda-pack – Conda-pack is the established tool for this task, but pixi-pack is designed specifically for the pixi ecosystem and its lockfile format.
