How can I set knobs when using the official docker image?

Using FoundationDB Running FoundationDB

I’m trying to use the official FDB docker image for local development and I’d like to set some knobs, how do I do that? docker run foundationdb/foundationdb:... --knob_min_available_space_ratio=0 seems to do nothing.

I believe the current docker image doesn’t support this out of the box and the easiest way to do this is by running a command like this:

docker run -ti --platform="linux/amd64" --entrypoint=/bin/bash foundationdb/foundationdb:7.1.22 -c "sed -i '$ s/$/ --knob_disable_posix_kernel_aio=1/' /var/fdb/scripts/fdb.bash && /var/fdb/scripts/fdb.bash"
