installing extra python packages

[FliesLikeABrick]

Hi,

I am working on developing some custom scripts (extras/scripts) ,and have reached a point that I would benefit from having certain extra python/pip packages installed in the container so that they are available for use in my scripts. What is the cleanest/best way to accomplish this?

We do run build.sh ourselves to build out own containers instead of using the community images, as we already have some in-house changes to ldap_config.py. We currently use the stock dockerfile.

We ended up solving this by editing the Dockerfile. We were hoping to find a way to do it that did not involve editing a file tracked upstream in netbox-docker to reduce the likelihood of future merge conflicts, however it looks like docker does not have support for something like dockerfile includes or overrides (in the way that docker-compose has an override file, for example).
