How to make apt installations persistent

I realize this is a very basic question, but I am rather new to docker environments. I noticed that the Isaac docker uses local workspace on my machine each time I start it so my workspace is streamlined. But when I install anything through apt on the docker, next time I run the run_dev.sh file (after all the containers are closed), I have to install the packages again. How do I save progress between runs?

Hi @raebelchristo

Welcome to the Isaac ROS forum.

The best way is to create a custom Docker image where you can install all the packages you need.
I am sharing some helpful links to build your own Docker:

Ah this is what I had been missing. Thanks a lot!
