Change to the docker directory of this repository:

cd docker

Using a persistent cache directory

Prevents models to be re-downloaded on every run, by storing them in a cache directory.

docker-compose run --volume=/path/to/cache:/tmp:rw detectron2

Rebuild the container

Rebuild the container by USER_ID=$UID docker-compose build detectron2. This is only necessary when Dockerfile has been changed. The initial build is done automatically.

Install new dependencies

Add the following to Dockerfile to make persistent changes.

RUN sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y \
  nano vim emacs
RUN pip install --user pandas

Or run them in the container to make temporary changes.
