-    `--no-install-workspace` flag which excludes the project _and_ any workspace members.

+#### Intermediate layers in workspaces
+
+If you're using a [workspace](../../concepts/projects/workspaces.md), then a couple changes are
+needed:
+
+- Use `--frozen` instead of `--locked` during the initially sync.
+- Use the `--no-install-workspace` flag which excludes the project _and_ any workspace members.

+# Install uv
+FROM python:3.12-slim
+COPY --from=ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:latest /uv /uvx /bin/
+
+WORKDIR /app
+
+RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/uv \
+    --mount=type=bind,source=uv.lock,target=uv.lock \
+    --mount=type=bind,source=pyproject.toml,target=pyproject.toml \

+
+uv cannot assert that the `uv.lock` file is up-to-date without each of the workspace member
+`pyproject.toml` files, so we use `--frozen` instead of `--locked` to skip the check during the
+initial sync. The next sync, after all the workspace members have been copied, can still use
+`--locked` and will validate that the lockfile is correct for all workspace members.
