Cannot prevent repeated precompilation in docker runtime

General Usage

Hello, I’m deploying a julia script via docker, and can’t seem to prevent precompilation during runtime, which is very expensive, time-wise.

So I observe that precompilation happens normally during the build time, but it always seems to repeat again during each runtime.

I’ve already tried a bunch of tricks (see below), and wondering if some kind of CPU architecture mismatch might be triggering this.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
