MicroOS package manager?

[TimHeckel]

Hey all - this is a basic question, but I'm struggling to install vi or any external package really using a package manager when ssh'd into a MicroOS container. I've found this page regarding MicroOS and Zypper, and it seems like zypper would be the expected package manager, but alas there is no zypper in the command line, and I haven't yet figured out how to get vi installed...any help?

@TimHeckel Don't worry about the underlying workings of zypper, microOS is a transactional system. Just use the extra_packages_to_install=['vi'] flag.

Thank you as always @mysticaltech :) So....is extra_packages_to_install an option in the kube.tf or elsewhere? Ideally I'd love to have some packages installed by default whenever I ssh directly into the containers. I did find that zypper is available when I ssh into the machine directly that Hetzner provides, but I'd like vi or other packages to be available when I ssh into the containers themselves.

Yes, the flag is for the nodes, in kube.tf of course (no other files are necessary to deploy the cluster).

Now, vi at the container level is not something related to this project. You have to mod the containers you are using themselves.
