The Dockerfile syntax and semantic does not allow for proper programming logic - see e.g. iterate in run command stackoverflow question

⌘⌘ Automating Mediawiki Installation

In 2015 we started with 1000 line bash script Here is an excerpt: ```bash

2. get the passwords
3. and save them in the given shell file
4. paramams
5. 1: l_pwconfig - the file for the password configuration

get_passwords() {

 local l_pwconfig="$1"
 if [ -f $l_pwconfig ]
 then
   # get the sysop password
   export SYSOP_PASSWD=$(cat $l_pwconfig  | grep SYSOP_PASSWD | cut -f2 -d'"')
   export MYSQL_PASSWORD=$(cat $l_pwconfig  | grep MYSQL_PASSWORD | cut -f2 -d'"')
 else
   if [ "$random_passwords" = "true" ]
   then
     # create a random SYSOP passsword
     export SYSOP_PASSWD=$(random_password)
     export MYSQL_PASSWORD=$(random_password)
   else
     password_dialog "ProfiWiki Setup" "Please specify passwords"
  fi
  local l_now=$(timestamp)
  cat << EOF > $l_pwconfig

1. !/bin/bash
2. generated by $0 at $l_now

export SYSOP_PASSWD="$SYSOP_PASSWD" export MYSQL_PASSWORD="$MYSQL_PASSWORD" EOF

 fi

} ```
