⁠Saving your image (optional)

• If you want to save your image you can do it in a few steps.
• Use docker ps -a to view the last container you have opened.
• We can use docker commit [Your old container ID or name] [Name of the new image] to save our last workspace for future use.
• For example the name of the first container is "ubc_subbots". We can use docker commit ubc_subbots my_local_image to save your last container for future use.
• You will have to modify the run command like this: docker run -it -e DISPLAY=host.docker.internal:0 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix my_local_image
