Hey @Maxrb ,

Just thinking out loud here, but this might be worth experimenting with.

You could try using a Unity Catalog Volume as a lightweight package repository. Volumes can act as a secure, governed home for Python wheels (and JARs), and Databricks explicitly supports installing libraries directly from volume paths onto clusters, notebooks, and jobs. In fact, for UC-enabled workspaces, volumes are the recommended pattern for this exact use case.

Just a thought.

Cheers, Lou.
