automatically installing additional packages immediately after container is created

[lonesoac0]

Hello all,

I am attempting to add additional software immediately after a container is created. I am using the script of: https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/debian.sh. I am specifically focusing on the function of:

function update_script() {
header_info
if [[ ! -d /var ]]; then msg_error "No ${APP} Installation Found!"; exit; fi
msg_info "Updating $APP LXC"
apt-get update &>/dev/null
apt-get -y upgrade &>/dev/null
msg_ok "Updated $APP LXC"
exit
}

My logic is that if the apt update and upgrade can be used, then so can the apt install command. I am running the code from a node shell. What am I missing???

You should create your own container and/or equip them with some built-in automation like ansible or puppet etc. to do what you want.

Most containers are useless and old if you download them, there I strongly advise in investing time in building your own infrastructure for hosting your own container images that are e.g. automatically updated via some CI software.

First, you need to understand how the scripts work.
