Howdy,

source repo.

Is there a way it can be "recreated" programmatically?

I'm trying to build my docker container so that the "nodes" points to
/opt/sbbs/nodes/xxx, not /opt/sbbs/nodesX/.

Sure, I get after the image starts, I can personalise the configuration (that
is then stored in the persistent store), so that future invocations of the
container (with that config) points to /opt/sbbs/nodes/, but I'm trying to
improve the first start for a new environment by reducing the number of steps
that need to be done (that really should be done programmatically).

I could add my customised main.cnf to the image (with the right path) - but
then if you make any upstream changes to main.cnf, I'd have to remember to
rebuild my customised one.

I can work around it, but looking for a less manual path.
