One thing that I have an issue with in this docker image is not being able to install a specific version of nrfutil tool. Since all of the stuff we deal with in NCS and Zephyr is highly versioned (personally I think that is great) it would be good to enable for this tool to have that as well.

As I understand tool is not open nor on GH and on the Nordic website there is no option to download a specific version, just the latest.

Hei, I understand that you want to be able to download a specific version of nrfutil. So this is not a request that is related to nrf-docker (and nothing we can solve in this project), please open a {DevZone case with your request. This way it will reach the right people who could make that change.

Got some feedback already:

The nrfutil executable on the download page is a thin "launcher" that downloads the latest version of nrfutil (core) on first run, but you can force a specific version:

$ nrfutil self-upgrade --to-version 7.4.1
$ nrfutil --version
nrfutil 7.4.1 (99b5854 2023-02-08)
(...)

Can also install specific versions of the subcommands:

$ nrfutil install toolchain-manager=0.14.0
$ nrfutil toolchain-manager --version
nrfutil-toolchain-manager 0.14.0 (3269c43 2023-10-03)
(...)

perfect, thank you for fast response!

I will add that to the issue I opened so other can find it more easily https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/104437/download-version-of-nrfutil
