+# Stage 1: Base Image and System Dependencies
+# ------------------------------------------
+# Use an official Python slim image. These are multi-arch and will pull the arm64 variant on Apple Silicon.
+# Choose the Python version matching your project requirement (e.g., 3.11, 3.12).
+FROM python:3.11-slim AS base
+COPY --from=ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:latest /uv /uvx /bin/
+
+# Set environment variables to prevent interactive prompts during package installations
+ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1
+ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
+ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
+
+# Install essential system dependencies
+# - build-essential: Required for compiling some Python packages with C extensions.
+# - pkg-config: Helper tool for finding library compilation flags.
+# - default-libmysqlclient-dev: Required for mysqlclient (MySQL/MariaDB adapter).
+#   (Replaced libpq-dev from previous version).
+# - curl: Needed to download the uv installer script.
+# Clean up apt cache afterwards to keep the image size down.
+RUN apt-get update \
+    && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
+       build-essential \
+       pkg-config \
+       default-libmysqlclient-dev \
+       curl \
+       clang \
+    && apt-get clean \
+    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+
+# Stage 2: Install uv
+# -------------------
+# Install uv using the recommended script.
+# RUN curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
+# Add uv to the PATH
+# ENV PATH="/root/.cargo/bin:$PATH"
+
+# Stage 3: Application Setup
+# --------------------------
+# Set the working directory inside the container
+WORKDIR /app
+
+# Copy dependency file(s)
+# Ensure requirements.txt includes Django and all other necessary packages.
+# COPY requirements.txt requirements.txt
+# If you use pyproject.toml for dependencies primarily, copy it instead or as well:
+COPY pyproject.toml pyproject.toml
+
+# Install Python dependencies using uv from requirements.txt
+# --system: Install packages into the system Python environment within the container (common for Docker)
+# --no-cache: Avoid caching downloads/builds within this layer to keep it smaller
+# RUN uv pip install --system --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
+
+# NOTE: Removed the 'uv pip install .' command below as it caused the
+# "Multiple top-level packages discovered" error. We typically only need
+# to install dependencies from requirements.txt for running a Django app in Docker.
+# Ensure your requirements.txt is complete.
+# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Or if using pyproject.toml (ensure it defines dependencies correctly):
+
+ENV UV_LINK_MODE=copy
+RUN uv pip install --system --no-cache-dir .
+# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+# Copy the rest of the application code into the container
+COPY . .
+
+# Collect static files
+RUN uv run python cmcsales/manage.py collectstatic --noinput
+
+# Expose the port the Django app runs on (adjust if you use a different port)
+EXPOSE 8000
+
+
+# Default command to run the application
+# This is often overridden by docker-compose.yml, but it's good practice to have a default.
