Description
Hi,
some guys ( including myself ) wrote Dockerfiles for FoundationDB:

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 ?
Contributor guide
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.
