Create Drupal image with preinstalled theme

[kobelobster]

In my docker-compose I have a mysql image and this drupal image. I started it and installed a new theme. However, when I remove the drupal image and create a new one the themes are gone. They're still in the database though, because I don't delete it.

Is there a possibility to create an image with a preloaded theme? What I managed to do was to create the image with preconfigured settings. I set up my Drupal site, then copied the settings.php to my host and in the Dockerfile this file is added back again to the container. This skips the installation progress, however, the site doesn't work correctly because of the themes.

And when I copy all the contents of default/files as well I get at least a bit of a theme, but there are still many css/js missing. So, is there a way to create the image, with a preloaded theme, throw it away, create a new one and still have the theme?

I think #3 is probably relevant here (and docker-library/docs#811, which I've just filed).

For pre-loading an image with themes though, I think it should be as simple as copying them into the themes folder (/var/www/html/themes), but I have not tested/verified that. There might be a better/cleaner way to do that as well.

Question seems resolved, going to prune the issue.
