Speaking abstractly, I can see 3 possible approaches. 1. You can create a separate container and invoke it from the mgr container as a micro-service. As to how, I don't know. This is likely the cleanest approach. 2. You can create a Dockerfile based on the stock mgr but with your extensions added. The main problem with this is that from what I can see, the cephadm tool has the names and repositories of the stock containers hard-wired in. Which ensures quality (getting the right versions) and integrity (makes it hard for a bad agent to swap in a malware module). So more information is needed at least. 3. You can inject your code into the stock container image by packaging it as an RPM, adding a local RPM repository to the stock container, and installing the extra code something like "docker exec -it [cephadmn- container-name] /usr/bin/dnf install mycode". The third option does require that the infrastructure to run dnf/yum hasn't been removed from the container image. Also not that if you're running a dynamic container launch, you might have to deal with having to re-install your code every time the container launches because there would be no persistent image.. However, option 3 would, if the stars are right, be something that Ansible could easily handle. As for testing, I'd look at the source for the mgr module and its regression tests. Plus of course testing your own code is something you'd have to do yourself.
