I have an existing Docker container, and I'd like to customize and extend its functionality. How can I create a Dockerfile from this container to achieve that?

Do the steps below to create a Dockerfile from an existing Docker container:
- Start by running the existing container and gaining access to its file system and configurations.
- Within the container, make the necessary customizations or modifications to extend its functionality according to your requirements.
- Once you've completed these changes, commit them using the command below:
This will create a new image with the name and tag that you specify.`docker commit`
- Now, this newly created image incorporates your customizations and can serve as a base for further containerization or distribution.
