Bug ID: 37417
Summary: Add ENV variable to download extra packages into ktd
container
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Project Infrastructure
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Koha Testing Docker (ktd)
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

env/defaults.env specifies `EDITOR=vim`, but by default some alternative
popular options like `nano` are not installed in the container. To allow some
user freedom in changing this without bloating the container image, I propose
adding some environment variable that'd install any extra programs at the
start-up, which could cover more useful use-cases than just the editor change
that prompted the idea.
It could just run something like this on startup:
> apt-get update && apt-get install -y $(APT_INSTALL_PACKAGES)
...assuming the APT_INSTALL_PACKAGES env var is defined and non-empty (with
space-separated list of packages to install), the exact name of the env var is
TBD, it doesn't really matter.
Note: you need to run apt(-get) update first, otherwise the package lists are
going to be outdated, and thus old package versions will be gone from mirrors
and result in 404 upon download attempt of packages!
