How to commit changes to a docker image

Docker is a great tool to ensure reproducibility of your computing work. I was using the bioconductor image on google cloud, but the image does not have the gsutil command.

You can install once in the container, but once you exit the container, the gsutil command will be gone. You will need to modify the docker image if you want to keep using it.

Step 1

$ sudo docker images -a REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
