Hello! I am trying with the docker containers of dealii, so I downloaded one of them and then I ran it
$ docker pull dealii/dealii:v8.4.2-gcc-mpi-fulldepsmanual-debugrelease $ docker run -i -t dealii/dealii:v8.4.2-gcc-mpi-fulldepsmanual-debugrelease Now I want to install few things in the container that I uses to run my program, like `vim`, or like `numpy`, dealii@a7af5de839fc:~$ apt-get install vim python-numpy E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? and I found that I cannot install it because I am not root. Then, I can just go out and enter as root: $ docker run -u 0 -i -t dealii/dealii:v8.4.2-gcc-mpi-fulldepsmanual-debugrelease root@89620dceb35a:~# apt-get install vim root@89620dceb35a:~# apt-get install python-pip root@89620dceb35a:~# pip install --user numpy matplotlib But know I want to commit this session in order to use it later with these packages and other ones, so from a different terminal I identify the running image and commit it $ docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 89620dceb35a dealii/dealii:v8.4.2-gcc-mpi-fulldepsmanual-debugrelease "/bin/bash" 5 minutes ago Up 5 minutes sharp_liskov $ docker commit 89620dceb35a dealii/dealii-and-numpy The problem is that when I save it, then it is saved as superuser, and I cannot go back to normal user mode...
