+# Extra Containers
+
+There are two parameters which allow to add more containers to pod.
+Use `extraContainers` to add regular containers 
+and `extraInitContainers` to add init containers. You can read more
+about init containers in [k8s documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/init-containers/).
+
+Both parameters accept strings and use them as a templates
+
+Example of using `extraInitContainers`:
+
+``` yaml
+extraInitContainers: |
+  - name: customization
+    image: {{ .Values.image.repository }}:{{ .Values.image.tag }}
+    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
+    env:
+      - name: SERVICE_URL
+        value: https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery
+      - name: ITEM_URL
+        value: https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item
+    command:
+      - sh
+      - -c
+      - |
+        code-server --install-extension ms-python.python
+        code-server --install-extension golang.Go
+    volumeMounts:
+      - name: data
+        mountPath: /home/coder
+
+```
+
+With this yaml in file `init.yaml`, you can execute 
+
+```console
+$ helm upgrade --install code-server \
+    ci/helm-chart \
+    --values init.yaml
+```
+
+to deploy code-server with python and golang extensions preinstalled
+before main container have started.
