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
IMAGE               CREATED             CREATED BY                SIZE
