    Hi,

    it would be nice to enable short-lived ReadWrite access for container images, especially for quick and dirty hacks and fixes.

    For example: In the last Synapse update, there was a bug using version x of Pillow where a deprecated attribute (Image.ANTIALIAS) was gone. This made it impossible to upload images to Matrix. Changing a line of code or installing PIL in version y could solve the problem. But not in the ReadOnly container.

    I would like to see a button "Enable RW in container until restart" for non-persistent changes/fixes/debugging/something else.

    A short reminder that all changes are lost on restart would be helpful.

    I like the idea. For lack of a better name, let's call this "lock/unlock" app containers.

    Container starts locked. When unlocked:

    • It will make the container rw
    • Disables automatic updates
    • Gives warning to user that all changes will be lost when updating and are not part of any backups
    • Automatically starts up the container (unlike debug mode which keeps the container in paused mode).

    I think this gives the customer a window to "hotfix" things until upstream (or packaging team) figures out some fix.
