Instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

That’s one of the real strengths of Docker: the ability to go back to a previous commit. The secret is simply to docker tag the image you want.
Here’s an example. In this example, I first installed ping, then committed, then installed curl, and committed that. Then I rolled back the image to contain only ping:
$ docker history imagename
