## Caching in Development Mode
You might notice delays when container starts first time in Development mode. This happens due to the fact that meteor needs to update package catalog every time container is relaunched. Recommended workaround to avoid slow start is to force cache update while building container. Then meteor will just check that cache is up to date and update delta which should be significantly smaller than the whole catalog.

To achieve this you need to build your own container on top of this one. See example Dockerfile:
```
FROM danieldent/meteor
# This forces package-catalog update. Should speed up further runs
RUN meteor show meteor-platform
```
Then just run the following commands to use your own image to run meteor
```
docker build . -t YOUR_PROJECT_NAME/base
docker run -it --rm -p 3000:3000 -v "$(pwd)":/app YOUR_PROJECT_NAME/base
```
