Description
Feature Request
I want Ignition to overlay packages with rpm-ostree install to install cockpit in addition to my containers that are setup by systemd units.
Because of Ignition's goal to be distro agnostic, a feature to directly allow overlay packages in the config will not be accepted. How about an option to run any shell commands be added instead? That would allow any modifications to be done automatically, without running a separate shell script on first boot.
