Improvement request: make "127.0.0.1 detault server setup" optional for installation #382

Hi,

some guys ( including myself ) wrote Dockerfiles for FoundationDB:

The solution is to delete the data files which were created during setup by the "127.0.0.1 server process".

I would love to see a possibility to make the "detault-server-setup" optional ( e.g. by setting an environment variable before running the package install ).

What are your thoughts ?

I've had similar issues with the rpm postinstall steps. I ended up building my own rpm w/o a postinstall step so that installing the RPM is independent from running and managing a database cluster.
