Description

Hi,

some guys ( including myself ) wrote Dockerfiles for FoundationDB:

https://forums.foundationdb.org/t/how-are-contributing-workers-computed/360
https://forums.foundationdb.org/t/foundationdb-kubernetes-having-issues/383/4

The solution is to delete the data files which were created during setup by the "127.0.0.1 server process".

I would love to see a possibility to make the "detault-server-setup" optional ( e.g. by setting an environment variable before running the package install ).

What are your thoughts ?

Research direction

Start by locating the package installation path that runs the 127.0.0.1 server process and the Dockerfiles referenced in the issue. Check how the default-server-setup creates data files, then define an environment-variable-controlled installation path that skips those files when requested.
