Quick Start

INFO

LakeSail offers a fully managed platform and enterprise support for running Sail in production, deployed in your own cloud account. Get in touch to learn more.

You can quickly experiment with Sail by building the Docker image from the Sail Python package.

WARNING

This method is not suitable for production deployments. Please follow this guide for more information about building the Sail Docker image from source.

In an empty directory, create a Dockerfile with the following content.

Dockerfile

ARG PYTHON_VERSION=3.14

FROM python:${PYTHON_VERSION}-slim

ARG PYSAIL_VERSION
ARG PYSPARK_VERSION=4.2.0

RUN python3 -m pip install --no-cache-dir "pysail==${PYSAIL_VERSION}"
RUN python3 -m pip install --no-cache-dir "pyspark-client==${PYSPARK_VERSION}"

ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/local/bin/sail"]

WARNING

Please make sure to choose a Python version that is compatible with the PySpark version you are using. For example, PySpark 3.5 supports Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11, so later versions of Python may have compatibility issues.

In the same directory, run the following command to build the Docker image.

docker build -t sail:latest --build-arg PYSAIL_VERSION=0.7.0+f0b137d .
