Hey @3368594,

Thanks a lot for using these images.

You can install additional packages with microdnf. You have to run it as root (user 0) and the container needs access to the internet, for example:

[gvenzl@localhost ~]$ podman run --name test -ti -u=0 --entrypoint=bash gvenzl/oracle-free:slim
bash-4.4# microdnf install python3

Thanks for answering, I solved the problem, apparently the problem was an internal network blockage that did not allow downloading packages from the oracle linux repository, enable a vpn and that's it!
