Is there a way to cache the:

apt-get install ...

step when building Docker images? During development of the image I have to re-create the image a couple of times, and it is always downloading all the packages again.
(I don't want to run an entire apt mirror, that's too large)

#Apt #Debian #Ubuntu #Docker #DevOps

@ascherbaum can you not do what you need with a multi-stage build?

@intrbiz I could do multiple apt-get calls. But then again, I don't want to optimize this for Docker, but for the development process.

🤷🏼‍♂️
It's your choice whether you prefer living with large volumes of downloads, or optimising for docker.
