"graphs": {
"my_graph": "./your_package/file.py:graph" // Required: Graph definitions
},
"env": "./.env", // Optional: Environment variables
"python_version": "3.11", // Optional: Python version (3.11/3.12)
"pip_config_file": "./pip.conf", // Optional: pip configuration
"dockerfile_lines": [] // Optional: Additional Dockerfile commands
}
See the full documentation for detailed configuration options.
