1. If I perform below action :

```auto
git clone https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa.git
cd rasa
make build-docker

```

Would it mean the generated docker has RASA **installed from source**?

1. Essentially my question would be, will below snippet from this [Dockerfile](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/blob/main/Dockerfile) install RASA from source in the generated image?

```auto
# install dependencies
RUN python -m venv /opt/venv && \
  . /opt/venv/bin/activate && \
  pip install --no-cache-dir -U 'pip<20' && \
  poetry install --no-dev --no-root --no-interaction && \
  poetry build -f wheel -n && \
  pip install --no-deps dist/*.whl && \
  rm -rf dist *.egg-info

```
