Feature request: Extract install script from Dockerfile to facilitate re-use about docker-code-server HOT 4 CLOSED

I want to build FROM an exact version of an internal image that has a specific Python environment inside.

Why not install python in the code server image and do whatever else modifications you need?

It's not just one, but three consecutive internal images, building on top of a public pythonnet-docker image maintained by someone else.
So there's also Mono, Dotnet and custom user & group configuration involved.

It was hard enough to get these things working together and since I have a PoC that code-server can go on top, it doesn't make sense to rebuild the delicate install steps around what's essentially just an editor.

It would be awesome to just insert a RUN apt install code code-server or similar.
But your Docker file is doing a lot more than that and as I mentioned, I don't yet understand which applications I even need to begin with.

Yeah, we can't help you with replacing the baseimage as it requires too much customization
