Feature: Install Modules Only

[sevketcaba]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When creating docker images, it's easier to start from a base and then extend the image with features. When it comes to the development environment for Qt, I'd like to have a base development environment as a docker image, and then would like to extend it with modules. This will reduce image build times significantly.

Describe the solution you'd like The solution that I'd like to have is as following :

Base Dockerfile :

Tag : Qt6-dev-base:6.5.0 Content:

FROM ubuntu:22.04

.
.
.

ARG QT=6.5.0
ARG QT_HOST=linux
ARG QT_TARGET=desktop
ARG QT_ARCH=gcc_64

RUN aqt install-qt --outputdir /opt/qt ${QT_HOST} ${QT_TARGET} ${QT} ${QT_ARCH}

Extended Docker File:

FROM Qt6-dev-base:6.5.0

ARG QT=6.5.0
ARG QT_HOST=linux
ARG QT_TARGET=desktop
ARG QT_ARCH=gcc_64
ARG QT_MODULES="qtquick3d qtshadertools"

RUN aqt install-qt-modules --outputdir /opt/qt ${QT_HOST} ${QT_TARGET} ${QT} ${QT_ARCH} ${QT_MODULES}

Describe alternatives you've considered an alternative would be as following :

RUN aqt install-qt --outputdir /opt/qt ${QT_HOST} ${QT_TARGET} ${QT} ${QT_ARCH} --modules-only ${QT_MODULES}

Please refer to the --noarchives option documented here: https://aqtinstall.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html#cmdoption-install-qt-noarchives . Unless I am missing something, this option already does exactly what you are describing here.
