Installing mender-monitor in the converted image

To install mender-monitor in an image using mender-convert, you will need to copy the Mender Monitor Debian package you downloaded in the previous step into a specific directory.

The default directory for input packages is input/deb, but you can change it like this:

echo 'MENDER_INSTALL_INPUT_PACKAGES_PATH=/path/to/deb_packages' >> configs/custom_config

Then you will need to enable the installation of input packages:

echo 'MENDER_INSTALL_INPUT_PACKAGES=y' >> configs/custom_config

Since you've set the variables in configs/custom_config, you will need to explicitly pass this file with the --config option when running docker-mender-convert as described here.

When running the mender-convert tool, you should see something like this in the output:

2024-06-19 13:10:34 [INFO] [mender-convert-modify] Installing input/deb/mender-monitor.deb
2024-06-19 13:10:34 [INFO] [mender-convert-modify] Installing dependencies for mender-convert/input/deb/mender-monitor.deb
