I've been meaning to open a ticket to add some options to the build.sh or pass options to docker. AFAICT, the docker build is hard coded with --rm which removes the docker instance when complete. If that's removed then the instance remains, can be attached to, and files extracted. I believe local filesystems can be mounted as well and shared that way. I'm no docker expert so perhaps there are alternatives already available.
