nanoserver powershell image unable to use install-modules by default
Steps to reproduce
- Pull the latest mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:lts-nanoserver-1809 image
- Run a container in interactive mode using the image
- Check the PSModulePath environment variable
- Attempt to install a PSGallery module using Install-Module with -Verbose (module used in this case is powershell-yaml)
- Notice the verbose output shows the install path a C:\Users\ContainerUser\Documents\Powershell\Modules
- This path is not in the PSModulePath env variable
** Note attempting to run Install-Module with -Scope AllUsers fails due to permissions
docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:lts-nanoserver-1809
docker run -it --name=testModule mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:lts-nanoserver-1809
Install-Module powershell-yaml -SkipPublisherCheck -Scope CurrentUser -Verbose
Get-Module -ListAvailable
Expected behavior
The ContainerUser powershell module path should be in the PSModulePath env variable so that the installed module is available in both interactive container runs or for building images with modules packaged.
Actual behavior
The module installs but is not usable unless the PSModulePath env var is manipulated every session or as part of the image entrypoint, e.g. a script that first sets up the PSModulePath by hand then continues on to do whatever the image's intended work is. (We are currently doing this.)
