 * configuration of JNDI connections in the tomcat/custom tomcat configuration in general
 * default data for gs datadir?
-* possibility to add custom java dependencies (for example the oracle jdbc driver)
-  * in this context: mount `EXTENSION_DOWNLOAD_DIR` and implement checks to cache extensions that have already been downloaded before?
 * log4j properties
 * add possibility to add custom fonts
