Research direction

Start with docker/bin/bootstrap.sh around line 417, where the viewer app is cloned, and compare that flow with NEXTCLOUD_AUTOINSTALL_APPS. Check how shipped apps such as logreader are installed and enabled in the container. Done means an environment setting can retain viewer by default while allowing additional shipped apps.

Description

enhancement help wanted

I want to install logreader so I can view logs more easily.

Since this app is not from the app store but comes included with Nextcloud, I don't know how to install and enable it:

https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/894f96380486fac55a34fd11268a7f176085d29b/core/shipped.json#L25

https://github.com/nextcloud/logreader

Setting it to NEXTCLOUD_AUTOINSTALL_APPS=logreader does not work.

I see that viewer a`` is installed from bootstrap.sh, so there should be a way to install the apps we want:

https://github.com/juliusknorr/nextcloud-docker-dev/blob/165e7e39ce340f92ebd62565f09a0b46be488249/docker/bin/bootstrap.sh#L417

Instead of hardcoding that viewer app cloning, wouldn't it be better to have an ENV where the default value is viewer but allows you to add more shipped apps?
