Final answer:
Yes, you can use a container, edit it, and update it by accessing its shell and making changes. Containers can be stored on the local system by exporting them as compressed archives.
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, you can use a container and edit its contents. Containers provide a way to isolate applications and their dependencies, making it easier to manage and deploy software across different environments. To edit a container, you can use commands like 'docker exec' to access the container's shell and make changes.
To update a container, you can either stop and remove the existing container and then create a new one with the updated content, or you can use version control systems like Git to track changes and update the container accordingly.
To store a container on the local system, you can use the 'docker save' command to export the container as a compressed archive. This archive can then be stored on the local filesystem and later imported back using the 'docker load' command.
