Hey Sam,

Since you’re running in a container it may be easier to just pass this as an enviroment variable. Depending on your method (docker run or docker compose) you could achieve this with the following:

Docker run:

```auto
-e INSTALL4J_ADD_VM_PARAMS="-Dnexus.datastore.enabled"

```

Docker compose:

```auto
environment:
      - INSTALL4J_ADD_VM_PARAMS=-Dnexus.datastore.enabled

```

Hope this helps
