Bug

When using a volume to persist nodes and models for the comfyUI container, any Python packages installed by the nodes are lost when the container is restarted. This may leave ComfyUI in an inconsistent/broken state.

Environment

$ docker image ls

Additional

This was first raised in a comment on #796. That includes a more detailed proposal to incorporate uv, which could solve this problem. However, this issue is different and much smaller in scope. For now, I will submit a PR to the comfyui Dockerfile that creates a .venv under /opt/ComfyUI. That will address this specific issue.
