Splunk docker image including an app

Hi,

I'm new to Splunk. I got the docker image from https://hub.docker.com/r/splunk/splunk/ and it's working fine.

I manually added the rfc5425-syslog app, through the web console.

I want to write a Dockerfile to create an image that already has that app installed. There must be some command I can run from within the container that installs an app from a provided tarball - any idea what that might be?

thanks
