Additional alternative: We build the services like we currently do, but once built, we include API commands in the netbox_build script to setup a base environment with the above-mentioned changes.

Pro: End user has a ready to play with application from the very beginning. Requires no thought and follows the documentation allowing for easier ingestion. Con: Difficult to customize for the end-user. Doesn't allow for code easy adaptation to production environments. Potentially convoluted build process.

Compromise: User enters runtime argument to build script to determine which method to use.
