Building docker interactively

I was trying to build a docker container using Apptainer. I have a long list of R packages to be installed with specific versions. I need to install it from CRAN/BioConductor directly and not from conda. Now, for each package I try to install, I might hit a roadblock due to missing libraries and then have to go back and add it using apt install. This becomes an iterative process and takes a long time. Is there an interactive way to build the container. I was trying using sandbox and fakeroot but it does not get the full capabilities to write while installing the system libraries. What other solution can I integrate?
