-If you want to add custom configuration files, you can just add them in the `/usr/etc/` directory, which is the official OSTree "configuration template" directory and will be applied to `/etc/` on boot. `usr` is copied into your image by default. If you need to add other directories in the root of your image, that can be done in the Containerfile. Writing to `/var/` in the image builds of OSTree-based distros isn't supported and will not work, as that is a local user-managed directory!
