# Inside container - using zypper
zypper refresh                    # Update repository metadata
zypper install package_name       # Install package
zypper search keyword             # Search packages
zypper update                     # Update all packages

⁠Common Issues

Issue: Group 'wheel' not found

# openSUSE doesn't use 'wheel' group by default
# These images use sudoers.d for ansible user

Issue: Zypper lock errors

# Wait for zypper processes to complete
# Or use: zypper --non-interactive
