Description

The prestart scripts do not work in all environments, especially not in ones where one is not running as root and cannot execute commands like update-ca-certificates or perform custom mount operations.

A config option which allows specifying the contents of prestart verbatim would be good to have. So far, we need to fork/deviate from the helm chart to be able to override/customize prestart scripts.

Would you be open for a PR which allows this?

Research direction

Start by locating the Helm chart's prestart script templates and the configuration values that control them. Check how prestart currently handles commands such as update-ca-certificates and custom mounts; done means users can provide the prestart contents through configuration without forking the chart.
