Additional packages

If there are additional packages you may want to install, create bash script with any name under /custom-cont-init.d, for example,

#!/usr/bin/with-contenv bash
apk add -q --no-cache <alpine pkgs>
pip install <python pkgs>

Then, it will run every container start. Please find more details here.

Or, you can have a built-in script do this by setting environment variables as follows.

-e "INSTALL_APK_PKGS=build-base python3-dev" \
-e INSTALL_PIP_PKGS=guppy3

Custom plugins

You can install custom plugins by FG_PLUGINS="{plugin_name_1} {plugin_name_2}" whose value is a space-separated list of plugin names. Currently available ones are

• write_magnet: Mostly same as built-in convert_magnet but expect better performance and improved error handling, which is compatible with a version of libtorrent containerized in this image.
