How to Build the Domino container with a Hotfix.

Interim Fixes are technically distributed as a Hotfix and have a HF number per platform.
Those files are available to all customers on maintenance.
Hotfixes in contrast are technically the same but they are distributed by customer for critical issues.

The HCL Domino container community project can install Hotfixes during the container build.
You have to download the file to your software directory or download repository and run the build command specifying the file.
There are currently no checksum checks like for other software, because HCL does not provide those checksums to customers.
Once available it would be easy to add.

Here is an example command-line how to build the image.

The version information is still important to label the image correctly.
But the hotfix file overrides getting it from software.txt.

./build.sh domino 14.5.1 HF51 -hf_download=1451HF51-linux64.tar latest

• the versions trigger the Domino software to be downloaded and for labeling
•  -hf_download= overrides software.txt
• latest labels the resulting image as latest. You can also use -tag=xyz to specify your own tag

An alternate way would be to add the file to software.txt. But then you also need to calculate the SHA256 hash and add it.
This override might be the easier path.
