 We strongly recommend removing the `./pants` script from your repo and using the `pants` binary instead. You can keep a simple `./pants` script that delegates to `pants` to ease the transition. However, if you do need to continue to use the old installation method for some reason, please [let us know](/community/getting-help) so we can accommodate your use case in the launcher binary.

+## Installation in Docker / Containers
+The standard installation method uses a installer-launcher that dynamically can install python versions and pants binaries depending on configuration.
+
+For container environments where a static or airtight installation is often important, you can install pants binaries directly. These are published in [github actions](https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/releases). Here's a minimal docker example on how to do this with `uv`:
+```dockerfile
+FROM debian:bookworm-slim
+COPY --from=ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:latest /uv /bin/
+ENV NO_SCIE_WARNING=True
+ENV PANTS_VERSION=2.30.0
+RUN UV_TOOL_BIN_DIR=/usr/local/bin UV_TOOL_DIR=/usr/local/share uv tool install \
+  https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/releases/download/release_${PANTS_VERSION}/pantsbuild_pants-${PANTS_VERSION}-cp311-cp311-manylinux2014_x86_64.whl \
+  --python 3.11
+```
+You can avoid hardcoding wheel URLs and satisfy firewall constraints by uploading these pants wheels on your private [package indexes](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/indexes/) and use these as per `uv tool`'s documentation (i.e. using `uv tool --index-url`).
