It's complicated. Yes, installing gems takes a while. Moving the installation to the build step will make that step take longer. During development, it is not uncommon to want a new gem. Redoing the image (and reinstalling all gems) would take a while. Putting the new gem into the (ephemeral) container may mean that it goes away when the container is stopped. Better options would be to put the gems into a volume or on the host. One nice thing about either a volume or the host is that you can rebuild your image and you generally won't need to reinstall gems. > It should also fix the wunderbar bootstrap issue.
