This is unlikely to happen. We try to keep the Kubernetes images as small as possible. Software like fdm which is only used by one or two tools does not fit well with that model. The future solution for things like this will be custom containers (the "push to deploy" work that is in progress).

The shorter term solution would be to compile your own copy of fdm and run it from the NFS mounted tool $HOME. When compiling custom binaries for use with the Kubernetes cluster make sure you are doing the compiles from a container that is using the same base OS image as the container you ultimately want to run the binary from.

I'm looking forward to the custom containers, and in the meantime I compiled tdb/fdm.
