Thanks for sharing that... What about the bootstrap_conf? Would a path forward be to remove bootstrap_conf, and keep bootstrap_confdir, moving it to a better more consistent system property name?
I really wish we had a test for the bootstrap_confdir! One more thought, isn't there a way to add a script to your docker, maybe entrypoint.sh that runs after solr starts that would use bin/solr and enabled "all the things" that you might want? I looked and I see in our Docker set up a run-initdb that appears to set up /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d and so maybe a bin/solr upconfig could go there instead?
