Can this be solved by using a docker image with the preinstalled packages at a user level?

Yes 🙂
BTW: I think I missed how you managed to install the object_detection API in the first place?
Is it the git repo of the Task? did you fork it? is it a submodule of your git repo?

p.s.
Yes Slack is quite good at reminding you, but generally saying always prefer @ , it will send me an email if I miss the message :)
