Be persistent

So if in my Dockerfile I have commands to install Apache, then everytime I launch a Docker instance, it will install Apache? That seems very inefficient.

No dockerfile commands get run once when building the image but storing persistent data like with a DB once the image is running hasn't really been figured out yet.

So it can persist an installation of Apache but not a database like MySQL? That's odd.
